Motherhood Bliss: Swim Meet & Fun Times with the Family

On Father's Day weekend we took a trip to Houston to visit Josh's family and to see Dani.

Dani recently joined the swim team of Forest Oaks Baracuddas. We got to attend one of her meets at Champions Park and I was able to get some great pictures of her swimming!!

1st Relay....she got to swim the 25 meter free style, however, her team got disqualified because one of her teammates touched the bottom of the pool :(

Brooks is checking her out in that funny hat!!

Family pic...minus Grandpere, he had to work that morning :(

Picture of Dani in the line waiting for her turn, apparently people don't take pictures of this part....she said I "embarrassed" her, haha :)

Swimmers take your mark.....

BONK....

Goooo Dani!! Cade was cheering her on at every race. When she would get out of the pool he would point his finger and say "Go swim Dani"...

25 meter freestyle

Swimmers take your mark.....

25 meter breaststroke

25 meter backstroke

And this is where she got disqualified, because she turned over to touch the wall :(

Last race...100 meter freestyle relay

I thought this was a good pic of our little swimmer!!

Cheering on our little teammate....

And the results....

11th place in freestyle

14th place in breaststroke

Disqualified in the first relay

Disqualified in backstroke

(And we never saw the time posted for the last relay)

Overall Dani did a great job for not getting to attend a lot of the practices. We are going to get her some private lessons this summer to work on her technique and block diving and she will be an even better swimmer next season!!! She has the perfect body type for a swimmer and some beautiful strokes, just a little practice and some good coaching and I think we have an Olympian on our hands.....
