Annapolis-marathon swimming weekend

Thank God it is over. Annapolis is the worst pool ever for parents....a fast pool for swimmers, so we suffer. Conlan did a FANTASTIC JOB! He dropped time in 7 out of 8 events. The most exciting part was he made it thru his 200 free! Conlan has had a major mental block when it came to swimming over a 100 yards. He was so proud of himself when he completed the 200. Colleen had a mixed meet. She added time in 5 out of nine events. BUT she kicked butt in 3 events. She made it back to finals in her 100 breast and 50 free. She ended up 4th in the breast and 5th in the free. She was led off on her 400 free relay, so her time counted and she got a 1:00.08. She so bad wants to swim it under a minute, but she is getting closer every meet.
We were very appreciative of Sherry and Vic letting us stay in their home. Wonderful food and company....Karen came to visit us at the pool this afternoon. It was nice to see her. She always makes me laugh.
Also a special thanks to Gram and Papa for keeping Donavan. He had the time of his life. He ate a lot and shot his new BB gun.
