Swim team dinner and league titles #14

Yesterday, we hosted 25 swimmers, the coach, and his family all here for dinner.  The coach's wife did all the cooking, we just needed to provide chairs and tables for everyone.  It was a little tight, but we really enjoyed it.  Swim kids are good kids!

Tonight was the conference meet.  We were all pretty certain that the boys team was going to win conference title #14...all in a row!  The girls had matched the boys each year for 13 years, but this year was much, much more in doubt.  If everyone placed according to the seeds based on their times, we would win, but only by nine points.  Way, way too close to even think it was a sure thing.  The first race though, the girls raced much faster than the seeded time and we began to beat the team that was going to be close competition.  It was a fun evening.

While our kids are no where near competitive swimmers, our kids cut seconds off all of their times.  In fact, Thomas cut over a minute off his 500m time!  We are so proud of our kiddos.  I'm so grateful my kiddos have the opportunity to be part of these fabulous teams!
