June 9 - Starbucks? Okay, I'm Up

Saturday, 5:30am
"Time to get up." - Mommy to Luke
He rolls over, slowly opens his eyes and glares at me and then snuggles back under the covers.
"We can stop by Starbucks for breakfast if you get up." - Mommy
"Starbucks? Okay, I'm up. Can I have chocolate milk and pumpkin bread?" - my suddenly wide awake little man

We had an early morning Saturday for our meet against the Pearland Pirates. It was an away meet (pool was a solid 30min away) and check-in was at 6:30am, but after our quick Starbucks trip the kids were wide awake and excited for the day. We had about 125 swimmers and the Pirates had over 300, but amazingly it didn't feel crowded. The meet was at the Pearland Natatorium, one of the nicest pools I've ever been too. They even had touch pads! Both teams set up tents outside and the kids had fun playing games in between events (Luke tried to take a nap when we got there). One really cool thing is that they had a misting tent for the swimmers next to the bull pen so they stayed cool.


JD worked the first half of the meet and had fun, while Julia did a great job and improved all her times (she broke the 40 sec mark for freestyle, great job!). After the meet, we went to a local German restaurants for lunch, relaxed at home for a little while and then went to a friend's house for fajitas and more swimming. And then yesterday...more swimming. We love the pool!
