Grace and Thatcher did Swim Team this summer at our neighborhood pool and we had so much fun watching them learn and compete in their events. They both swam freestyle and backstroke. This past weekend was Divisionals and Grace qualified for Individual Free, 4X Relay Free, and Individual Backstroke. Thatcher was close, but being one of the youngest on the team, this wasn't his year for Divisionals.
Saturday was the big day and Gracie's Relay team won 1st place. Woohoo! She was the 2nd leg and while her stroke looks a little slow, it's her kicking that gets her there quickly. She was thrilled! Only thing is: Now she gets to swim in the All Stars this coming Saturday. She actually cried about it, because she's ready for Swim Team to be over. It's a lot of practices and early mornings on Saturdays. Well, we can't let her Relay Team down, so we'll be there and we'll let you know how it goes. Here's a video of her leg of the Free Relay. Go Gracie!!!!

Yay Gracie Girl!!! You rock the pool (as the boys would say) Good job and can't wait to see how you do in All Stars.
Yay for Gracie! I was like "wow" as I watched the video. She did a great job! She can swim so fast!
So, Kelly, how are ya'll doing? You've been on my mind a lot the last few weeks so I thought I'd check in on you. How is being Mommy of four kiddos going? I wish Kyle and I could come to VA to meet the newest members of your family!
What a great family picture, Kelly! It's precious! :-)
