Amelia's 1st Swim Meet and she WON!!!

Amelia loves to swim and she has gotten pretty good at it so we decided to sign her up for the neighborhood swim team. She is a Dolphin on the Colonies North Swim Team. At first we thought since she was only 5 it would be more like swim lessons but after the first day of practice we learned it was full fledge swim team and she would be competing in meets! Within one day they had her swimming the full length of the pool doing the freestyle stroke and back stroke. We had no idea she could swim that distance (I don't think I could without having a heart attack).

This Saturday, May 30, 2009 was her first swim meet. We told Amelia all she needed to do was try to finish and have fun. To our surprise she did that and more... She won both her races in the freestyle and the back stroke. It was so exciting and so much fun. I got really excited and think I was the loudest and most obnoxious yeller there. We are so proud of her and most importantly she is having a great time. She had a lot of support from her family and friends. Thanks to Grandma Rosie and Grandpa, Aunt Kristina, Cousin Daniel and Noah, Scott, Luinda and Jake and Holden for coming to cheer her on.
