Yelling and Screaming

We're definitely an athletic family. Matt played golf and baseball, between me and my siblings we played tennis, baseball/softball, swimming, basketball, volleyball, soccer, golf, skateboarding, horseback riding, rugby and crew. That's a lot of practices, equipment and games/matches/regattas. Yesterday was the highlight of all those events. My youngest sister Amanda, was the coxswain for Oakland Strokes Women's Youth 8+ boat that won the National Championship in Oak Ridge, TN. We were able to watch the semis and the finals via webcast. I might have been a little misty when they won with open water between them and the Marin boat that came in second. We are so proud of her and it was awesome to watch. I also find it pretty amusing that the youngest of six is now a national champion at yelling and telling people what to do. Clearly she learned from the best. We're also very proud that she's headed to the Junior Olympic Camp later this month.
Congratulations Amanda and Oakland Strokes!!
