Swim Meet

We have two grandsons that are on a swimming team this summer.  Today was the last meet and it was such nice weather, mid 80's and a breeze.  We left home at 6:45 a. m. and arrived in Huntingtown about 7:30 am.  We arrived almost at the same time as the Stevens and the Bainters.
Sid set up our chairs and umbrella so we would have shade and then the different teams started their warm -ups.




I took egg sandwiches for breakfast.  Dad ate his on the way and I ate mine before the meet started.  At 10:30 I was starving.  Seemed like we had been there all morning.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute of the meet.  Seeing all the kids swim made me a little jealous.  I love to swim and would have loved to have swimming teams as I was growing up.  So back to the food.  They had walking tacos for sale so we ate lunch, and then on the way home at 12:00 noon, Dad and I stopped at burger king for a hamburger. I wonder what we will have for supper.

Tina trained this year to be a judge and here she is at our end of the pool.
They asked Trudy to be a sweeper today. All these new names of jobs people do at a swim meet.  They were really well organized, it went off like clock work.

Hmmm.  I was coming back from taking Trudy some sun screen, she had been out in the sun all morning.

A very lovely day, with the best company.

That was a really fast well-run meet. . . . it could have been longer because the other team was so huge!!!

Glad you and dad made it to a meet . . . . . and it is nice to actually be in some pictures!!!!

Seeing all that shade you all were under really made me wish I would have been in it!

That looks like it was fun. Hopefully it wasn't too hot for all of you that couldn't get in the water!
