February 25, 2013 - Monday Today was Zone Day. Several weeks ago Grace had her swim carnival with her school. She did so well that she went on to Zone. The first carnival is like an all school swim meet. Zone is taking those who excelled at their local schools and having them compete with other schools - kind of like going to a conference event. Josh took the day off and Lance skipped school and we all went to Zone to watch our swimmer. Because Grace did so well at her school, she was signed up to swim in 7 races. She also elected to swim in the 200 IM. The girl was swimming all day and we were so blessed to be there and get to watch her.
She is in the second lane - mint green cap - ready to dive in.
Ready to do her back stroke.
She was in 2 relay races and this is one of her relay teams. One of those relay races she was the backstroke swimmer; the other was free style for each 50 M leg. She swam her little heart out and did so very well. Her times were the same or better in all her races, except butterfly. The competition was tough, but she held her own and we are all so proud of her. Today was a hot day and the pool was indoors - like a sauna. It was good to get outside.
So after all that swimming Grace still wanted to go home and get in the pool. We got the local pool boy working to remove all the leaves. He acted like he knew what he was doing.
Lance and Grace got our their ship and went sailing. The rest of us jumped in to just cool off. Not that we are complaining. We are not missing the Iowa weather.
Josh had to go to Melbourne so it was just the 5 of us for dinner. We had another wonderful meal, we played "Don't Make Me Laugh" and then called it a day.
