The Flying Zarembas

No, thank goodness the kids haven't taken up the trapeze yet but they are well on their way.  We were invited to a pool party at one of McKenzie's soccer teammates house after a game and the kids put on quite a show.  Kenzie and Ben were the first kids in the water and they insisted on going in with a splash.  Ben went off the pool slide and Kenzie off the diving board.  Matt and I weren't even in the pool but they did have their floaties on.  As the other kids slowly got into the pool, most with full life jackets clinging to parents, Kenzie decided to take it up a notch.

We are not even sure where she learned this, Matt told her it was okay to dive from the diving board since this pool was deeper than the gym pool where diving is not allowed.  The go ahead to dive turned into her doing flips off the diving board.  The other parents were amazed and so were we!


Kenzie must have done twenty flips off the board and would have kept going but we decided to call it a day before things got any wilder.  Maybe she'll become an Olympic diver - who knows!  We are looking forward to more diving practice next summer at Grandma and Grandpa Z's pool which was  renovated this summer.
