Our 2nd Swim Meet

Here is Caroline at her 2nd Swim Meet! She swam in the 25 meter freestyle and 25 meter backstroke. She broke both of her old records from last week! We are so proud of her! Ryan enjoys the meets too! He comes to the meets ready for many hours in the sun! He brings trains, cars, and his leapster to keep him busy and goes through tons of food! Caroline also is a big eater and we all found out today she loves cup of noodle soup.

We woke up at 5 a.m. to be at the meet by 6 a.m. Caroline was in the pool doing warm-ups by 6:30 and the meet began at 7. We left the meet at 11:00 and headed home for lunch and naps, for Mom and Dad! It is really fun to watch Caroline in the pool!

Caroline 1st Swim Meet

This was Caroline's first swim meet! The Westridge Waves Team bathing suits for the younger children did not arrive in time, which was a blessing. Caroline was very easy to spot in the water! She swam in the 25 meter freestyle event, 25 meter backstroke event, and a relay. Caroline had a good time and did her very best in the water! It is so much fun to watch all these kids swimming and they all work so hard during the week! Practice is every day for an hour and then on Saturday the meets last about 4 hours. The meets start early, and hamburgers and hot dogs are on the grill and ready to eat by 9 a.m.

Here is Caroline finishing her first event!

After she finished her first event Mrs. Sweeney a teacher in her class this year was there to cheer Caroline on! What a great moment!
