Swimming in the BIG Pool

We spent the weekend at Texas A&M for the girls first "long course" swim meet. Long course means the 50m pools. Wow! That is a LONG way to the other end. The facility was fantastic. Wish they had had it when I was there for school. No wonder college is so expensive now. The ammenities they offer these kids would make you never want to leave! Anyway, we had a good time and they swam great. Regan for sure has decided to continue swimming through the summer. Maddy has yet to commit. She wasn't so thrilled with the big pool! Summer league begins as soon as the neighborhood gets the pump fixed. Always something... I don't think the girls realize how "easy" summer practice is going to be after the practices they've had at the club level. And the 25m pool will seem very short!

We Are The Champions (of the C2 division)

Appropriately, the season ended on a rain makeup. I believe we only had 2 or 3 matches that didn't require a rain makeup this year. By Monday afternoon, it was mathmatically impossible for anyone to finish ahead of us. Wednesday's makeups were, as Gene put it, to simply leave no doubt that we deserved it. We easily won our last 3 lines. Yeah us! It's nice to finish on top for a change! So now we celebrate and accept our trophy, or towel or whatever they bestow upon us, and move on to swim team and USTA tennis. LET SUMMER BEGIN!

More Bluebonnets

Just a few more pics of the spectacular bluebonnets at mom and dad's. The fields were an endless sea of blue. We just couldn't stay out of them! I think there were more every day! Once again, though, it was easier to get cute pics of the dogs. They were much more cooperative. I wish they could stay forever...

Happy Easter

Spring has finally arrived in Central Texas and the bluebonnets are spectacular! It has been several years since we have any any, but the wait was worth it! We attempted to get pictures of the kids in the flowers today, but let's just say that the dogs were more cooperative....
