Their Name in Lights

We woke up super early on Friday morning for the "swim championship."  The kids were less than thrilled for having to get up so early to swim.  Josh Davis is a local hero around here.  He won lots of medals at the Olympics and grew up swimming at our local pool.  They built this bee-you-tee-ful natatorium in his honor.  It was the first time I had been inside and I was impressed. 
 
 
Rocco was out of sorts.  I don't know if it was the bright lights or the noise of the crowd but you could tell that he was nervous.  He chewed on his goggles the whole time. 

 
Lining up with the other littles.....

 
So proud of this boy for being one of the only 5 year olds to make it in the freestyle to the championship!!!
 
 
When he saw his name on the jumbo-tron, he thought he was a movie star!  He did not care for one second what place he got!! 

 
Yep!  He is still nervous! 

 
His backstroke cracked me up!  He is not even trying at the end.  He is gliding through the water just coasting to the wall. 
 
 
He did a little better!  Not last at least!  He was dancing like a crazy kid like he won the gold medal!

 
Next up, it is Jillian's turn.  I have another little nervous sweetheart.  Insert goggle in mouth for chew toy. 

 
And she's off.  She had the dreaded 1st lane so it was hard to film her but we are super proud of her efforts!!!
 
 
She got to see her name in lights and she was thrilled.  She posted her best time of the season!

 
And now to enjoy the rest of our summer!!!!
