Pirate Meet 2015

It was time for the annual GOCC Pirate meet! I got my Little Pirates ready!

and off we went for our last home swim meet of the season!

 I loved seeing SK and Julia help with the National Anthem this meet. With the 4th coming up we are more in love with the red, white and blue these summer days for sure!

 We are all so proud...and surprised really... by Lila and her swimming.

She just started to put her face in at the end of the summer last year and here she is scoring points for the team this summer! The Grandparents and Big Brother came to see her do her thing this meet so that was fun for our Beanie!

  

 Sarah Kate enjoys every meet mostly because she enjoys her friends so much!

But a heat ribbon for Breast stoke tonight was an added bonus!

 and Rolls swam his heart heart...all the way to event number 76! It was a long but fun summer night!

Lakeside Meet!

Tonight we headed to Lakeside for a swim meet!

 The Hardys had a great night of swimming....for the most part......Riggs rocked it out! He swam like a champ!

Won his races....

 got some heat ribbons to take home.....

 and had fun hanging out with his friends!

 My SK had a great night too!

She did the breast stroke tonight....

and won a heat ribbon!

She also had the best time hanging out with her buddies...old and new!

 Rolls....well, he had a rough start....
He was so excited to do the IM for the first time....but right when he jumped in his goggles came off....

He wanted to stop ....he just did. But God love him....he kept going...did the entire IM with no goggles and in tears.....

He did the best he had with he he had...and still placed 3rd.

He cried for a while after he finished....I was so proud of him for continuing on with such a big set back in such a long race...the Lakeside coach came up to me after and told me how impressed he was with my boy....yhea...he is pretty amazing! :)

He reset with a little fun time with his friends.....

 and then brought home a few heat ribbons of his own!

 Swim team is a lot of work...but the life lessons, the exercise, the friendship, the fun and the memories are so worth it!

 We celebrated the night with an 11:30 meal at Casa Fiesta!

Cheers!

Swim Team Luau

Jenna and I have been busy getting ready for the annual Swim Team Luau! It's always such a fun night and a great way to kick off the swim season with our friends and family that are a part of the swim team! We got all Hawaiian and and were ready to have some fun!

 It was such a fun night and the kids had an absolute ball!

Mock Meet

GOCC swim team is ready to go! Tonight we had our mock meet...a little practice run for everyone!

It was great to see the kids back in the pool!

That Riggs Hardy in a swim cap and goggles.....so cute!

He swam great!

and loved being there with his friends!

It was Sk's first time to even attempt to swim across the pool in a meet .....so exciting!

and poor Julia had to sit with her stitches in her toe and watch tonight.

But in GOCC swim team style we cheered and got ready to swim!

I was so nervous for SK......

But this little girl never ceases to amaze me!

Sister jumped in......

and swam across that pool just as fast as she could! We were so proud of her!

when she reached the end she looked back at the length of the pool.....

and she was proud too!

Riggs had a great mock meet too!

He looked great out there!  I love to watch him in the water!

Rolls sat this one out...and went to Will's birthday party but we will see him in the water soon!
It was a great Mock meet!

Welcome to Swim team, SK!

 Welcome back to swim Rigsy!

and watch out to everyone cause the pool posse is in full effect this summer!
