Pinnacle Pirates vs Waterford Waverunners

Wednesday night we had our first away meet against the Waterford Waverunners. It is the next neighborhood over, so their pool was just down the street. The Waverunners have a smaller swim team, so the meet went very quickly. It was a nice change from the long 3 hour ones we often have against larger teams (6:00 PM- past 9:00 PM). Though we still have it a bit easier than some. Trey's last event (breaststroke) if often done by 8:30 PM and we leave right after and don't have to stay until the bitter end.

Matt: FreestyleJoshTreyJosh played the DS while waiting for his next event. Matt brought the older Nintendo. He can't wait for his birthday next week so he can get a DS and not have to share with Josh anymore because Josh thinks it belongs to him.Next up- backstroke. All three boys swam. Josh gets his goggles set.Josh was in the second heat. While Josh is in the water, Matt waits in the chair behind so he can swim in the heat after.It was Matt's first time ever swimming backstroke in a meet and he did a great job!! He stayed straight and took second place in his heat (43 seconds).TreyRich came straight from the hospital. It was SO HOT and he was cooking in his long sleeve shirt and black pants. The theme for the meet was "Black Out" and everyone was encourage to wear black, so he fit right in with his dark slacks.The girls don't own anything that is black with short sleeves, so we just went with red. The love to cheer their big brothers on and eat lots of snacks during the meet. We bought hot dogs and nachos from the concession stand, which they loved.Trey did a great job on butterfly. I am still amazed he can so this stroke. I have never mastered it.He also swam breaststroke and took 5 seconds off his time from last week (33.44 seconds).This picture is so Trey. The moment he touches, he looks at the other lanes to see how well he did against the other swimmers.Three meets down, two to go. It's going so quickly! We love watching the boys swim. I am so proud of their progress. Great job guys!
