Esme swim camp: Summer 2013
These past two weeks Esme has been in swim camp. It’s an interesting setup — basically, decades ago, a family set up a small camp in their backyard, and it’s grown to the point where they have 4 pools, a big playground, and lots of space for the kids to run around, but still in the backyard of this house in a residential area.
On Friday — Esme’s birthday — we got to go and see her show off her skills. In this video, she demonstrates backstroke and butterfly, two strokes she had never done before. (Incidentally, her butterfly is probably better than Dad’s.) She had a fantastic time and every day when we picked her up she had a huge smile on her face. She learned a lot and maybe this will be an annual tradition. Brynn was really upset that she couldn’t get in the pool with Esme — but in 2 years she’ll be old enough to be a camper too.

Looks like she really, really enjoys the pool and swimming – good for her.
