The Great American Swim-A-Thon...

Sunday was the day that all of the Kolb grandchildren have had circled in red on their calendars for weeks and weeks now.  It was time for the annual swimfest hosted by the incomparable Nanny and Grandpa.  For many years now, John and Connie have dedicated one Sunday afternoon/evening/night to a big swimming and pizza party at a local hotel. The kids, both big and small, eagerly anticipate this day all year and once again, they were not disappointed.  There were treats and pizza galore....
And while the adults of the party ate, drank and were merry, all of the kids swam to their hearts content...
After what only seemed like, well, about 6 1/2 hours of swimming, the lights were dimmed and we were gently nudged out of the pool area.  By that time, I think we (and by we, I mean the adults in attendance because I think most of the kids could have gone all night) all felt like this...
Tired but already looking forward to the 2012 edition to do it all over again.

Many thanks to John and Connie for once again proving that the best gift of all is time spent together.
