Go Gracie, Go! - First Place!

Grace's second swim meet was away at Eagle Watch. She did great. She swam in the 11th event, the third heat(non-scoring) and the middle lane. She either came in first out of three in the heat. She is still refusing to swim her backstroke, but we will get there. As long as she is having fun we will keep her swimming. She loves all the kids on her team and especially the coaches. We laugh because she refuses to jump in, especially off the blocks and could cut several seconds off her time if she would just jump. Hopefully by the end of summer she will be jumping off the blocks and doing her backstroke. For now we are happy that she goes to practice and meets with a smile on her face and sleeps well at night. Soon her incompetent parents will remember to bring and how to operate the video camera. Enjoy the pics and know that we are very busy on Thursday nights at the meets. Lily loves it too, she gets lots of attention and can't wait for her turn in the pool. BTW - The waves lost to Eagle Watch, but it was a close competitive meet, we'll get them next year.
