Noah's first race was the backstroke. He had never swam this stroke in a meet before, so I wasn't sure how it would go but he did amazingly well!
He stayed pretty straight the whole time and was the second swimmer to reach the wall. Which means he got a Silver Medal!
He also swam the free-style, breast-stroke and relay. He did great in all of those too. I think he really enjoyed himself.

Rhett's first race was the butterfly. He was so nervous, we could tell. He was also pretty nervous swimming the free-style. But his nerves were gone when he swam the breast-stroke. He dove in perfectly and ended up 4th overall (there were 4 heats). He was a little disappointed he didn't get a medal but he did receive a 4th place ribbon and we had to keep reminding him how many swimmers he edged out. We were really happy for him.
Yes, it looks like that man in the picture is cleaning his ear. The seats weren't great for getting pictures.
I have said it before: We are so proud of the boys.

You should be proud of them! And doesn't it make you a little sad to think of the activities we missed out on in small town USA? We still had fun though, and didn't know the difference.
Did you know that when I moved to Friona schools and you guys were all in dance, I thought it was elegant and amazingly impressive. I wonder if that began my feelings of insecurity b/c I didn't get a chance to do that, felt lesser somehow. Hmmm.....
