Swim Meets

Austin after winning 1st place in the breast stroke...we were up top in the stands...
Kailee after her fly! I honestly don't understand how they do it...I barely start doing it at our pool and I give up after a couple strokes...that butterfly is hard!!!

Kailee & Austin had their 3rd swim meet this morning. It was a long one...they had to be there at 7:45am...we came a little later....and didn't get home till 1:25pm. Whew! The Katy Tigers won!!! We have won all 3 meets!! YEAH! Kailee and Austin are doing awesome! They have improved sooo much from last year! It's so fun to see them compete with themselves to beat their previous times on the different strokes. Austin's best time and his favorite is the breast stroke and Kailee likes freestyle. Today they competed in all the events, 50m freestyle, breast, fly, and back, the individual medley, the relay medley and the freestyle relay. Austin got 1st place today in breast and 3, 1st places last meet. Kailee didn't get any 1st places today cuz they had her racing with 15-18 yr olds...but we were EXTREMELY proud of her cuz she kept up with all of them really well!!! She did get 2nd place on her backstroke!! She was happy cuz she can keep up and she has earned at least one of every ribbon so far this year 1st thru 8th place!! They have two meets left and then the season will be over at the first of July. We have had alot of fun and I am glad they have too. Living in Katy, I am all for any indoor sport they want to participate in! Sitting in a chlorine filled, slightly humid natatorium beats outside in the 100 degree heat any day!!! :)after winning in the breast...he didn't even realize he had won until he got the ribbon!waiting for ribbons...he sits exactly like Shawn
look at that awesome dive!!!

Awesome pictures! Way to go swimmers, that is awesome that you are having fun and are so competitive! We felt some of your pain last week when we went to Florida--it is so true that the dry heat we have is easier to tolerate!
