Swim Conference - Day 1

Swim Conference is an all day event.  Seriously.  It is held in Kearns, about 40 minutes away from us.  This morning, Jorja was swimming the breast stroke.  Preston was swimming freestyle.  The top three swimmers from each age division from each team get to compete. Except the 6 and under division, then they let everyone compete. Anyway, the kids did great!  I forgot to write down Jorja's time, but I know it was either her fastest, or close to.  The top sixteen get to swim tonight.  Jorja was 1/2 a second away from making it to the evening swim.  She was okay with that because in the evening she only had the medley relay, she swam the breast stroke, and then she was able to go home!  Too bad that is when they assigned me to time, so I had to stay until the bitter end.  Mike came straight from work, but just missed Jorja swim.  Too bad.  Preston swam the freestyle this morning.  I love watching him!  He cracks me up!  He has no concept of this being a race.  He stops and looks around not a care in the world.  When he finished he was given a medal.  He was so proud!  He asked me to write his name on the medal so everyone would believe him that it was his!

Now, of course, is more Bear Lake pictures.  Most of them are of Mike surfing.  Shannon really wanted to tackle him while he was on the surf board.  She put on the helmet and was sitting on the back of the boat. She never was quite brave enough to do it and Mike finally pulled her off of the boat.  So funny!

I think it is funny how they are right next to each other even though Shannon is on the boat and Mike is not.

 Mission accomplished!
