family matters…

family shotfamily shot-2
The week in Costa Rica with my brother and his family just flew by…But not without a few things that I can’t help but find funny.  And I want to share them…
1.  I’ve heard teenage kids sometimes call their parent by their first name as sort of a rebellious/ I’m independent kind-of-thing, but I’ve never heard a 7 and 5 year old do it.  Kyra and Aiden were a bit confused by the fact that there are two “Mike’s”.  And on many occasions last week, this led them to call their dad, “Mike,” rather than “dad”.  I was reassured that this was the first time it’s ever happened, but personally, I found it really funny.
2.  If you have been reading our blog this last year, you’ll know that I just learned how to swim.  What you might not know is that non-swimmers run in my family.  My dad is a great swimmer, but my brother and my mom aren’t.  Now, what’s funny about this is that my brother’s kids are swimmers.  Kyra is on the swim team, and Aiden plans to join next year.  Kyra knows all the strokes, and they can both swim for hours in the pool.  Which brings me to the point…Kyra and Aiden made endless jokes and demonstrated how my brother(their dad) swims doggie paddle!
