Swim team!

Maxine joined our local swim team this summer and swims every day for an hour and 15 minutes. She loves it! We had a swim meet on Saturday. Here she is in the bull pen, waiting to race.
She competed in the 50 meter backstroke.

She also did the 50 meter freestyle and the 200 meter medley relay.

We cheered her on from the side!

Mikayla was a good girl the whole time! She played and then fell asleep without a fuss.

While waiting between races, we got bored.

Merril went early to set up our shade tent, which was awesome. While we were there, this girl that I don't know set her chair under our shade tent, sat down without a word, and proceeded to text for 2 hours. So weird. She sat in between me and my friend Sara G., so I was talking over her to have a conversation with Sara. When my friend Val showed up, Sara had the courage to politely ask her to move, which she did indifferently. (She moved her chair under another shade tent that didn't belong to her. I saw the people move her chair out when she wasn't sitting in it.) The whole thing seemed surreal. We still had fun!
