Peyton has had a pretty solid season. She swims consistently every stroke except breast stroke….that's not quite her gig, but she does very well in all the others. She usually comes home with a handful of ribbons. Her and her friend Kate continue to be neck and neck on most races. It's a friendly competition and they are always happy for the other one when they win. They are good for each other. This weekend is the championship meet so we will see how she does.
Jack has had a good season as well. I'm super proud of him for all he has accomplished. Swimming doesn't come easy to that boy but he works his tail off and has come a long way. I explained to him at the beginning of the year that he had to move up in age this year. Last year he got a participation ribbon every time he swam. This year he had to bump up and they only give ribbons to the first three places. I was realistic with him and told him he probably wouldn't win much for ribbons this year. A few swim meets he opted out of and had some golf and wii time with Dad. Then towards the end of the season he was ready to take on a meet. HE WON A RIBBON!!! He got a 3rd place ribbon and I was sooooo happy for him!!! He was super pumped…..and it was well deserved. This boy has worked hard and he actually enjoys it now.
And he is off……...
Super proud of his ribbon….so am I!!
And now SHE is off…...
Now for some backstroke…..
And now for some butterfly! She loves to swim this stroke, but it sure does wear her out!
