Swim Team

This summer the girls are doing swim team.  Chloe is also on the water polo team.  They both really are enjoying themselves.  Chloe loves water polo - more pictures of that later!  I did a terrible job at taking pictures.  The good races I was cheering too much to pick up the camera.  They did great at their first swim meet.  Chloe got all first place ribbons in freestlye 25 meter and 50 meter, breast storke 25 meter, butterfly 25 meter, back stroke 25 meter - and 1st in one relay were she swam the butterfly and 2nd in the other one were Ellie was on her team. Poor Ellie was sad because she had to swim against Chloe which means no first place ribbons but she got a few second.  They both were awesome!!!

I love this one of Ellie dipping her toe in the water ; )

Chloe is very serious when it comes to race time.

 Ellie is not so serious ; )



Zoo, Aquairum, and Botanical Gardens

 The best thing we did this year was get a year pass to the ABQ Zoo, Aquarium, and Botanical Gardens.  We have such a great time each time we go.  I have been so bad at taking pictures even when I have my camera - so here are just a few pictures of one of our adventures. 

 I Love this picture with the American Bald Eagle in the background.

 The polar bears are aways one of our favorites!

 My Beautiful Girls!

 The aquarium is Ellie's favorite place.  She loves it all and could spend hours in there watching the animals.

 Best Friends!  These two are such great girls and so fun to go places with!

 Sea Turtle ; )

 Steve and a shark!

 Love this picture!  Chloe cracks us up!

Ellie sitting and watching, she is always fascinated with this part of the aquarium. 

The girls and me in the Botanical Gardens.  We can't wait for it to be in full bloom.   



Easter Eggs

I have never been one that was too excited to color eggs, but this year I gave in.  The girls had fun coloring them but the smell of the eggs was almost too much for me!
