highlight of today was definitely kezia’s swimming competition.
kezia’s first race was butterfly with just her and two other swimmers. as it was the first race of the day poor kezia didn’t know what to expect and missed the starting signal so dived in at least 2 seconds after the other two. she still managed to come in a close second though so would have definitely won if she’s started on time!
she came second in her ‘freestyle’ race too. freestyle is front crawl rather than ‘make it up as you go’ which i would have done. she was also in a couple of relay races at the end too. (the times on the program were estimates from her teacher. she beat both of them hence the ribbons above)
we got home mid afternoon hungry and with the house in a mess when an estate agent phoned to say they wanted to bring someone round to look at the house in 7 minutes time! we did some quick mad tidying, showed them round, then went to the food court at the mall for a celebratory meal.
Then jane came home and the girls and i did a spot of window shopping before getting a lift back from jane who had been doing school work.
this evening i watched Round The World In 80 Days with kezia whilst esther’s been out at some fancy inflatable park somewhere which sounded a bit like that TV program Wipeout. Hopefully she’ll be back in one piece later this evening.
here are some videos. in the first one she’s in lane number 8 (one in from the far lane). i think you can see which one she is on the second one!
