This evening was the final gathering for the swim team. It was at the pool and didn’t start until 8PM, after the normal closing time. The evening was somewhat cool (especially for late July) but that didn’t stop the kids from swimming. Various awards were handed out and Corwin got a nice plaque for completing his first swim season with the team. There was a bit of an organizational problem as the coach apparently had to search the entire pile of items for each child, so that took quite a long time. Finally, though, the kids were released to eat junk food and swim. Corwin had a good time, despite forgetting to bring a towel to a swimming event.
Charles insisted on coming along, but I told him that since he had gone to the party, he had to be on the team next year. He responded to that with non-committal grunts. Charles had fun in the water, but managed to lose his goggles somewhere despite a complete search of the pool area just before leaving. Charles was rather distraught over the loss. We’ll see if he was distraught enough to be more careful in the future.
