School swimming carnival....

A couple of weeks ago the school swimming carnival was held.  Sophie and her cousin Jack both competed (Jack's first time now that he is in Grade 3!)  They both did very very well.  It was such a hot day... 39 degrees, very hot for us poor Mum's helping out at the finish line!
