We went to an indoor pool Sunday for a friend's birthday party (Keaton). They had a waterslide there, but in order to go again you had to swim the length of an Olympic size pool over 11 feet water. Owen tried, but quit halfway. Then he tried again, and didn't make it again. He could have done it, but he was so nervous about the 11 feet (and the lifeguard walking next to him who wasn't very nice and kept saying, "you have to keep your arms out of the water...no breaks!). Anyway, because he couldn't make it he REFUSED to swim at the party. It killed him. And on the way home, he said, "I should have tried again. I could have done it." What a perfectionist! He certainly doesn't get that from Eddie or I. I think it must be from Uncle Eric! This photo of him and Henry is the closest he got to the water for the rest of the party.

That is so sad! I can't imagine sitting through an entire pool party and not swimming!!!
