5.14.2011 Ben & Carly's Swim Meet

After a fun day at Bush Gardens, we got up (not nearly as early as we thought we were going to have to) and went to Ben & Carly's swim meet...after a restful morning. We left a little later than we probably should have, and I was so worried we were going to get mom and dad there too late to see Ben swim-he was in the first race, first heat. WHY do you hit every red light when you're running late?! Since this was the main reason they came to visit, I would have felt pretty rotten if they had missed that race...BUT they got there just in the nick of time :) Edgar and I dropped them off then we went and parked the car...so WE missed the first race, but Grandma & Grandpa didn't. It's been a while since I've been able to go to one of their swim meets-it's pretty hard taking the kids to the meets-so it was very fun to see how much they have improved.
They are both great swimmers.



Cute kids :)

Someday I'll probably be standing next to MY daughter at a swim meet...

...but that won't be for a while :)

Eli & Leah did great at the meet. It was pretty hot (no...he had not gotten into the pool. My boy can SWEAT!) but they had fun watching their cousins swim. Leah didn't love the cheering (cried every time we got loud...) but she's just going to have to get used to that :)

I kept thinking how much fun Randee & Johnny would have at a meet capturing pictures with their camera :)

Checking the heat sheet to see when the next race will be.

Hanging out with daddy.

Ready to go!

After the race the girls got some coffee and went to Michael's. Can't have a visit from mom without going there! I can't seem to get out of that store without buying SOMETHING. We also went to a kitchen store where I had to keep myself from drooling all over the baking stuff. SO MUCH FUN STUFF! I will definately be visiting there again!

We headed for home and then went to Olive Garden for dinner.

Leah was entertaining, and the food was great.

Sunday was church, lunch, then a trip to Cold Stone (another place that MUST be visited when Grandpa & Grandma are in town!) then Edgar took them back to the airport :( It is always sad to see them go.

We had such a wonderful, packed weekend. Can't wait for our next visit!!
