I am going to the Jr championship for my swimming . It's where we compete with all the kids on Oahu that have A times our higher. I'M swimming in the 50 free 100 free.

Black Rock-can you find me in the red shirt?

I went to Maui last week it was fun! We snorkeled and played at the beach. My Dad threw us in the water and we swam back to him. we also jumped off some rock.

My Family and I drove up a volcano that was 10,000 feet high, there were NeNe's the Hawaiin goose. we went high above the clouds.

Dad and I snorkeled a lot of times we saw Hawaiin state fish ,a Dragon eel, and a lot of puffer fish. The one thing I liked the most was the sea turtle.

Maui was a fun place I hope I can go there again.

I painted this bird of paradise freehand first with pencil then used paint (mom helped show how to make different strokes and shades.

I attended the Break Out swim clinic with Josh Davis three time gold medalist. He taught us how to swim faster and have better form. The next I went to I made 2 A times. 100 free in 1'29" and 50 free in 39".

I swim everyday M-F for 2 hours and have worked really hard for these times. I really like swimming, my favorite stroke is breaststoke and freestyle.

Cole moves up to the Shark level.

There are three levels on my swim team. The first group is Minnows, second are the Dolphins and third is the Sharks. I was in the Dolphins and in order to move up I would have to do a 500 meter in 10:00 minutes or less. So I wanted to move up and I did a 500 meter and I did it in 9:42.

Germany, A Place I Will Never Forget

Germany is a place I will never forget. In Germany, there was always something to see. Fields, castles, cows and sheep could be seen daily.
I always enjoyed going to castles. They were very fun. They usually built castles on hills so it was hard to attack. Once I went to a castle, it was so high that I almost fell over to look at the it.
Fields, cows, sheep and castles were something I saw almost everyday! Sheep were herded by their shepherds. Fields as far as the eye can see all around me. Cows chewing their cud while standing in squared off fences.
In Germany, I never ran out of things to see. I hope I can see Germany again.
