13 and a Big Ole Half

I don't know how it's possible that I have a 13 1/2 year-old.
But I do.
She is!

2019 First Synchronized Swim Meet!

The ritual is called Getting Snotted. It refers to this process by which girls about to compete glue their hair down with gelatin, called Knox. It's super gross and a rite of passage!

Phin performed a duet. They won first place - even though they were the only ones competing, it was still fun to win!

Fancy Musicians

Sam and Phin both had to dress up for the band concert... Phin played clarinet, Sam percussion.
