Luke's swimming Gala

Luke was in a gala on Thursday at the Polokwane, South Africa city pool. Let me just say that this was a NICE pool.

I have been trying to put the pictures on Facebook and they won't upload so here they are on our blog. He got 4th in breast stroke, 3rd in freestyle and 1st in back stroke. He was also on the relay team. He was the first leg and managed to get his team 10m ahead. His team finished in 2nd. He had fun and that is all that matters. After the gala he went to the diving pool and jumped off two of the platforms. He thought they were pretty cool.

This is the city pool.

Luke is in lane 3



This is the first leg of the relay. He is lane 5

He couldn't wait for the Gala to finish so he could jump off the platforms.

Several of the kids went to the first level of the 3 level platforms. A girl just jumped off and now the boys are checking it our and making a plan.

Luke is busy telling this kid that he wants to go last.

Luke jumped so fast all I got was his splash.

We are so thankful to one of the local private schools here for allowing Luke to join them for sports each day. That is a huge blessing to us as a home school family.

He's a full-grown cousin now, but Luke reminds me so much of him at his age now.
