Rachel relaxes at the pool in preparation for her big meet later that eveningQuote of the Day:
Caitlin: "Mommy you forgot to put on my sunscream!"
Mommy: "Why? Does the sun make you scream?"
Thursday was another "swim day." We went to swim team practice in the morning, ate lunch, did chores, then headed to the pool. Rachel spent the time at the pool resting, writing in her diary and reading because the meet was against a big rival and she didn't want to be too tired to swim. The other three kids swam to their hearts' content.
We finally left the pool, got home, I packed dinner and we drove a half hour to the swim meet against Westwood Swim Club. Rachel swam well, placing second in two of her events. Spencer only swam in one exhibition relay event, but he won his race so it was a great night for our kids. The races were so close and the rivalry so intense that it made it much more fun to watch than any other meet this season. Several league and team records were set because of the serious competition. Ultimately, our team won!!! It was so much fun watching because at most meets, our team wins easily but none of us knew what the final result would be until they announced it! Meanwhile, the twins had fun monkeying around on the play equipment.
