Chuck and Buck: We're home!

Charleston West Virginia - not much water around here, except for the Kanawha river, but even there its more about bungee jumping from the New River Gorge bridge. WV is all about hiking, climbing and enjoying the green. But i have been in the bay area several times in the past from SFO down to Gilroy. Half Moon bay is one of my favorite spots and the Skyline Boulevard…

I live just about 45 minutes from Gilroy. I was born and raised in San Jose. James loves to swim in the SF bay. He will swim anywhere there is water, though!

There is a big Swim in TN he wants to do. It's a 10 mile swim down river. He finds these types of things everywhere.

Awww. Poor Gil. I'm sure she was thankful for you for saving her from those big mean kayaks! Lol

I love watching the boys chase James in the pool, especially when he swims under them. They dunk their heads and watch and then torpedo dive at him. James sneaks up and tickles their feet and they freak out.

Oh my goodness!!! HOW CUTE!!! You have a super kid on your hands, along with his sidekick super ducks!!!

He's so lucky to have you as his mom, I am sure this is a bond he'll NEVER forget. Good memories when kids are younger are so important and you certainly aren't slacking there. I have plenty of friends that look back on their sport and all they remember is their mom pulling their hair too tight into pony tails or losing all their 'free time' to practice. You've gone about it in such a way that James will enjoy his talent for many, many years to come. What a great family

Our free time is next to nothing. He is usually training 4-6 hours a day (Minimum 3 miles in the lake before school, two hours with the high school, 2 hours for club). He wouldn't have it any other way. It's exhausting. It's actually nice having high school over with right now because it frees up a couple hours a day.
