I love swim team season! Where else can you put all your children in one sport and attend one event that they all participate in at the same time? I love the family comraderie it encourages and the chance for the kids to cheer for their brothers and sisters! Last night was our first swim meet. Samuel and Joshua were the only ones competing since Shelby and Caleb are still out of town and Savannah needs to figure out how to breathe without holding onto the side every time she breathes!
Joshua was doing double duty as he rushed between a cub scout raingutter regatta and the swim meet. His boat didn't do so well.......it lost every race.......but hey, it looked cool! Luckily for us, we were competing against his den leader's swim team, so she just took him out long enough to go race his boat at the church and then got him right back to the pool! (For those of us outside of Utah, it is a lot farther away than you might think!) It was just one of those days when mom could not be two places at once!
Joshua got back just in time to compete with his teammates in backstroke, where he placed 12th.
Samuel never stopped moving the entire night. It was hilarious! He was eating non-stop, so I knew he was burning up energy! Watch the video and you'll understand!

Watch the video and you'll understand!When the night was over, the Stingrays (our team) had won the swim meet! Joshua placed 6th in breaststroke, 12th in backstroke and 6th in freestyle relay. Samuel placed 3rd in freestyle, 2nd in backstroke, 5th in breaststroke and 2nd in freestyle relay. They were both very excited since they moved up an age group this year and are the youngest in their age group, so they weren't expecting to do quite so well. Savannah watched very closely and is working hard so she can compete in the next meet!
