I asked Dave Biener for a ladder and organized over 130 kids for a group shot.  People will take you seriously if you're on a ladder with an SLR.

Woodlands vs. Livorna

 While Heidi was in Clovis with Tyler at the CIF state swim meet, I took Hanna and Parker to Woodlands' 1st dual meet of the season against Livorna.  The kids did well:  

Hanna's events:  

100 yard medley relay, 1st, 1:18

25 yard free, 17.84, 3rd

25 yard breast, 25.22, 4th

100 yard free relay, 1:12.47, 2nd




Parker is doing well with his 50s and attending most of practice.  He swam:

200 yard medley relay, free, 2:54.58, 3rd

50 yard free, 35.87, 4th

50 yard back, 45.49, 6th

200 yard free relay, 2:23.46, 2nd.  











Having only two swimmers allowed a lot of down time which I almost never get.  

Tyler did the 50 free para division iii and went 25.31 for a 1st place finish.

Hanna's 2nd grade performance and Tyler's NCS meet

Hanna had her 50's themed concert on Thursday.  She wore a poodle skirt and sang Johnny B. Goode and some other songs.  She was way into it.

100 free:  57:xx, 1st.
