End of season

Swimming is over for the year and I couldn't be happier!  I know the kids love it, but 8am practices every day along with one or two meets every week takes its tole by the end of the season.  
The kids had the championship meet over the weekend, in the rain.  
The boys were freezing!

Zach had a blast playing in the puddles.
Ellie was absolutely miserable!  Apparently playing in the rain at home is much different than playing in the rain at a pool.
Sunday was the awards picnic.  The boys each got a medal and the coaches hand out personalized awards.  Ben was most likely to forget his suit.  He only forgot it once, but apparently he was the only one, all season long, to forget their swim suit when they are going to swim practice!
Sam got the survival guide award.  Basically the coaches were completely impressed with his willingness to do anything that was asked of him and he always did it well. They told him to write a book with all his tricks and secrets.
Ben was one of six to receive a trophy.  He got the spirit award.  Ben loves swimming and his enthusiasm is obvious and never ending.
