Athletic Entry

You know how we roll at the Hess House, double workouts numerous days per weeks for parents and kids alike. We may not be many things, but we have to be one the most aerobically fit families around. Except for Shelby - she hasn't joined the world of athletics or double workouts, until now. SHELBY MADE THE SHORE AQUATICS SWIM TEAM!
To do this she had to swim 25 yards freestyle across the Wilson Pool (shown above). I thought for sure she would chicken out when she saw the length - but she did it. She even swam over 250 yards her first night!Coach Kristin said, "Mark my words, she is going to be your swimmer!"
Shelby - you go girl!

WHAT? I can't believe this. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to do that swim. Maybe Shelby will teach me how. I know, I'm pathetic.
