Sand Dog & the Swim Race

It's always fun to bury your little brother or sister at the beach. Chico was the victim this time. It didn't take long. This family fun (for everyone but Chico) happened at the Open Water Swim Race that took place over the weekend.

The 'big' girls swam (Lindsey cheered them on) in the kids race (below), and Raphaelle and Savannah both got medals. We even got to hang out with the star attraction for the event, a highly regarded long distance swimmer named Marcos Diaz. He's from the DR but is world renowned for his marathon swimming exploits, including swimming back and forth across the Straits of Gibraltar, and swimming around Manhattan twice in one go. Needless to say, he won the adult race.
