Watch out, Phelps.

Today was the Evo Swim School Olympics!! I registered the kids several weeks ago, while the Beijing Olympics were happening. Eli said to me, completely stressed out, "Mom! I don't want to be in the Olympics!!!" I assured him that these weren't the real Olympics, and he felt much better.

Lizzie and Eli both got to compete in mini-races. The Kicking Race and Freestyle both went smoothly:

And then there was the totally fun Watermelon Race!

Notice Eli's oversized and upside-down goggles.

In the middle of his watermelon race, he had a Phelps Goggle Moment
Don't worry, he still beat the World Record for Watermelon Racing even with his defective goggles. That's because at home when we were training for this event, I would sometimes step on his goggles and then give them to him to race with. We were ready for anything.

And there's the thumbs up! It was a fingertip finish!

Thanks, Evo, for a totally fun afternoon!
