Breaking Records

The kids had their second swim meet.  Poor little Caitlin was up sick the night before and had to stay home with Brett.   She was a little bummed, but ended up having a great special day with Brett.

We have been talking with Blake about how his swim shirt has been slowing him down.  He has always worn a swim shirt ever since he was a baby.  He decided to give it a try and not wear the shirt for this meet.  He wasn't even nervous or anything about it.  I was so proud of him.  Blake got his fastest times for all four of his races.  He said that he isn't ever wearing the shirt again.  He even went without it at practice last night.

Madison was her regular nervous self.  However, she walked away with 4 blue ribbons.  How can she do that?  She even broke the teams record for the fastest 25 yd freestyle...  18 seconds :)  She didn't even look like she was trying her hardest.  She is so smooth!  She also wasn't allowed to dive in.  She is much faster when she gets a dive start...

 Blake is always the most wonderful team mate.

Madison was so proud of her 4 blue ribbons.  

 Caitlin ended up feeling fine and even went to lunch with Brett.
