Championship meet

Its over! Finally!  The boys had the championship swim meet on Saturday.  Thankfully it was much cooler than its been recently and it was actually nice to be outside.  The boys had it rough though. When they weren't swimming, they had to sit in a tent and play video games with friends! They did awesome.  Since all 6 teams were there competing, they each only swam in 2 races.  Sam won his first heat (freestyle).  His races were really far apart so we let him go to the playground next to the pool.  I think we let him play too long because he was pooped for his second race.  
Ben did great in both of his races.  His breast stroke has improved each meet and he passed a couple kids in his relay.  Ben came in 3rd in his heat in his second race.  
They had the awards banquet Sunday night.  They passed out ribbons from the championship meet, medals and trophies.  They also got special coaches awards.  Sam got the S-amped up award because he was always eager and ready to do what ever the coaches asked.
Ben got the Jitterbug award because he is always moving/dancing.  I think its an improvement over last years most vocal award!
