Laura had one heck of a summer swimming. She took all the age group times and came away with the hardware to show it. Of course she was a hippie enough to put stars and spongebob stickers on her face for the awards ceremony. This summer Catherine was scheduled to just take swimming lessons. During the first swim meet we were reading the times and race number and seen that they put Catherine in a heat for a free style race. She wasnt sure if she wanted to do it but with a little nudging off she went for a maiden voyage in swim meets. She took off and looked absolutely terrified the whole way across the pool. I was fully expecting to have to jump in but as she went along more and more people started to notice and the cheers came out for her. She got a little help from the rope in between the lanes but she did finish the race. Jacob was there to help her out of the water. She told us all she will never do that again!!!!
For the second year in a row Laura got the high point award for her age group. Not only that she got the fastest time in three different strokes, the freestyle, backstroke and butterfly and was third in the breaststroke. She loves to swim and has even given herself a swimming name...BACON. Dont call her Laura if you see her, she just might look at you funny because her name is Bacon. In the picture above is Bacons friend Erin. They are two goofballs together. Very fun to watch them .
Catherine got her Rainbow ribbon for the freestyle race that she completed. She loves the ribbon and promises to keep it forever.
