SWIMMING, FOOTBALL AND OBAMA

Yesterday was a busy day in the Beaver house. I had documented most of it but this morning I accidentally deleted all images.
Obama and Biden were coming to Fredericksburg. They were to start speaking at 6 pm. Around 4:30 the kids and I went to downtown. We had to park a few blocks away. The line went around at least 1/2 the campus. We got in line around 5 it starts to rain, and rain and rain. No point walking back to the van b/c we still were going to be wet, so we walked slowly in the line. Around 6 it finally stopped raining and we got onto the college campus(b/c so may people were leaving). Crowds and crowds of souls. Obama still wasn't there. Donavan between being sopping wet, cold and very weary of the hoards of people began to cry. There was no way were going to be able to see a thing so we finally gave up around 6:50. Reports say he got there a little after 7 but by 7:15 it was pouring rain again. We were glad we were in the nice warm car. I tried to be a good mom and let my kids see history in the making...I am sure my kids will thank me and not make fun of me in 25 years!
Conlan's football team won 20-12. The team gave us bit of a scare in the first half. Conlan recovered a fumble on the 3 yard line which resulted us getting the ball back and scoring. Conlan and the quarterback are working really well together. Since it was wet yesterday the coaches tried putting a towel in Conlan's pants so the quarterback to dry his hands. Conlan vetoed that idea.
Donavan team lost again, but Ray said they are playing better and D-man was 2/5 in his quarterback skills.
Colleen swam well. Their relay team won! Colleen took time off her breaststroke (1st place), dropped in her IM (3rd place), added 2 seconds in her fly but still got second.
