swim meet/sleepover Saturday

Emma had a home meet today. She rocked the relays. Her team came in first both times, in one race by almost a whole pool length. Her backstroke individual was more of a challenge. (3rd out of 4 racers) Poppy stopped by to cheer her on though. And Christina, who is sleeping over tonight, came to the meet too. Jack and Matt sat this one out - they stayed home and did yard work. I was actually grateful to have Christina around to keep me company. Swim meets are very long - and frankly, a little boring. 85 races - Emma swam in numbers 1, 21 and 51. We stayed until the end because we thought the ribbons would be awarded. (They weren't) Oh yeah, and to cheer on her South Hadley Swords teammates.

YAY EMMA! Boy that would suck to be the kid in race #85 and have no one stick around to see it.
