My daddy and I were at my swim meet at 7am.  I got my heat numbers written on my arm and I warmed up in the pool.  I swapped gifts with my Big Buddy.  Today it was candy bars.  I gave him some minni Hershe Bars (hit favorites) and he gave me Milky Way bars (my favorite).

Barbara arrived next, soon followed by Mommy, Bridget, and Grandma.  Mimz was out-of-town with the Rosses.  Papa and Andy were fishing.

I've started wearing my swim cap because my hair is longer.  It's the longest it has ever been in my entire life.

 Here I'm waiting my turn to swim.

And me watching my teammates swim.

That's me sitting on my starting block ready to swim next.

I did well in my heats.  I don't know the final results yet.  I was DQd in two races but that is okay, I am just learning the butterfly and the breaststroke.

It was over 90 degrees but we all managed to find shade most of the time.   I still need to learn how to dive into the pool.

Mommy and I drove up to the Pond, the new name for Papa and Grandma house, since it is not really a lake.  Well, that's not true.  Its name is Emerald Lake but it is only 30 acres we think of it as a pond.   Andy and Bridget helped me work on my strokes and to dive into a pool.  I was doing it off the side of the pool and not up on a high starting block.

I was so much better at diving when we finished for the day.
