The Ebmeyer Family
Hi. We're the Ebmeyers. We love to swim, swing at the park, go for walks, ride our bikes, play at the beach, read books, dance, and really just be together. The only thing better than this is sharing it with friends. In the words of Jack Johnson, "It's always better when we're together".

I think we're feeling the Olympic spirit.

We can't believe it's already been 3 years. Here we are enjoying our last week with them before they move back to Zion.

Well, It's obvious Bailey and Lizzy are legit swimmers with their caps and goggles. All that's missing is the full length speed swimsuits.

Then to top off the "Spirit of the Olis" (HB Style or better yet Brock and, his accomplice Ian, style....not to dis all of us normal HBers) they think they can give Michael Phelps a run for his money. Of course of all of his events they thought they'd pick a "do-able" event like the 200 Medley. After asking me the order of the strokes, they attempted the first length. Brock said he was doing backstroke but I'm still not sure if that's really what it was. Ten minutes later they finally finished. I couldn't tape the whole thing b/c on the second lap of the breaststroke Reagan jumped in after Brock, in an attempt to save her drowning father. I had to stop taping and jump in the water because dad couldn't stop in the middle of his "big event". He didn't want to mess up his time. He thought he was in contention for not only the gold medal but also the world record.
