Olympic Fever

The Mercer boys have Olympic Fever!!! Swimming is their event of choice, followed by water polo, volley ball and track and field. But it is mainly swimming. They took their saved up money to Target to buy "racing goggles" and "swimmers caps" just like Phelps and Lochte wear...

Pnut wanted the mirrored goggles just like the Olympic athletes had..that was his goal before we got to the store. (Hallelujah that Target had them in stock!!) They always get to choose their colors and Spuds choices never fail to amuse...  bright kermit green? really? He LOVES his choice though, so that is ALL that matters.... and they worked!! Spud swam faster than his brother when he got in the pool!!

Just some views from the Olympic pool in our back yard... they crack me up, how detailed they are in their re-enacting, down to stretching just like the swimmers do, bending over and splashing water, positioning themselves perfectly on the starting block. So precise and focused on details! I hope they do their homework and remember their moms birthday with such attention to detail!!!
