Marcus

Age	11 Years 9 Months
Weight	95.1 lb
Height	5′ 0″

Lots of swimming this month for Marcus and for the first month in quite some time there was no soccer. Swim team went well and Marcus put in a lot of effort in his swim races and got some really good results. Strings camp was a little too sedate for Marcus and we will have to think hard next year if we want him to do it again, on the positive side of the camp his cello playing improved and the class performance was spectacular. Later in the month Marcus complained about a very sore back and we took him into the emergency room to get it checked out. No bones out of place and no UTI, so just muscle spasms (maybe from all of the swimming).
Fastest swim times this summer:
50M Free: 40.40s - 50M Back: 47.94s — 50M Fly: 55.15s — 50M Breast: 47.79s — 100M IM: 1:37.84s
Summer camps this month:

Franklin Strings camp (continued, 4 weeks) - this was a half day camp where Marcus played a lot of cello during the morning then entertained himself at home during the afternoon.
Adventure Links Ultimate Adventure - This was an outdoor adventure camp, which Marcus loved after his subdued strings camp

Sophie

Age	10 Years 2 Months
Weight	76.2 lb
Height	4′ 10″

Again this month swimming has been a highlight for Sophie and she has been doing really well in her swim meets. Most of her races have been a little too easy for her and she has suffered a little from a lack of strong competition this summer. Sophie has been on some super fun camps this month and went away to two sleep away camps. This was a new thing for Sophie but she seemed to enjoy being away and handled it just great.
Fastest swim times this summer:
25M Fly: 20.68s - 50M Free: 40.58s - 50M Back: 46.96s — 50M Breast: 52.61s — 100M IM: 1:37.44s
Summer camps this month:

YMCA Aquatics - Sophie seemed to enjoy this camp, one that she has attended in previous years
Total Futbol Soccer Overnight - Her first ever sleep away camp, Sophie had a blast, and returned home super tired
Clay Cafe - She seemed to enjoy this camp, and outlet for her creativity
WMACS Residential - 2nd sleep away camp, this time with her friend Gabby
