How to have a great time at a swim meet

First, have the Mom come really early and set up the tent so you get a good spot.
Then, have the weather cooperate nicely.

Follow the above advice with:

Rest between events...


The cutest mascot you ever saw...


An ipod (for Mac) and an iphone (for Dad)...


Coloring pictures of "Bampa"...


Snacks, goodies, and playing...


And it'll pay off in the end! Em got 1st place in backstroke and set a new personal best. Despite her best efforts and a new personal best Em didn't qualify for Meet of Champs in 50 free. Luckily she only has to shave off a few more milliseconds and she'll qualify. When she gets her 50 free qualification that'll mean she's qualified in every. single. event. Wow! Luke had such a great time that when I asked him if he'd rather go swim at Nana's house, he said "No! Stay."


I was gonna upload the videos, but I can't find them. Plus, even if I could, it's hard to tell which one is Emily.
