Flyin' High

This morning at swim practice, Coach C. asked Bennett if he would swim in tonight's meet. I was a bit apprehensive because he joined the team just last week and has only been to three practices. Bennett told her "yes" (because, frankly, no one would dare tell Coach C. "no"). He bounced off the walls all day...talking non-stop about how nervous yet excited he was. He was scheduled to swim in two races, 25 meter freestyle and 25 meter butterfly. I would insert pictures here but I FORGOT MY CAMERA!!! That's right, me...the one who takes a zillion pictures everyday, did not get one single photo of Bennett's swimming debut. Shame on me. Anyway, he did AWESOME. Not that it matters (even though it does), he placed 3rd place in freestyle and 4th in butterfly. I could barely believe my eyes. He was so excited and Carter was so proud of him. He will also swim in next weeks meet and Coach C. sat me down and asked if she could enter him in the area championship meet on August 1. ROCK ON BENNETT!!!! I did capture this one picture that says a lot about how tough swimming is......

Calling it a night...at least 2 hours earlier than normal!! Suh-weet!!
