BC State meet-day 1
Well, it's State weekend for swimming. Josh is swimming in the BC State meet, which is like the junior state competition because he didn't have any state cuts. Of course, turning 13 right before state sure makes it hard to get state cuts. Josh was named as an alternate on a couple of the state relay teams so we had to be in Bountiful where the meet is being held Thursday night in case one of the team members didn't show up. Unfortunately, all the team members were there. So, today he had 3 official events that he swam: 200 freestyle, 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke. He did most amazing on his 200 free - he knocked of 8.66 seconds and now is only 25 secs. off his state cut. That may seem like alot to most people but he could prabably knock that off in 2 meets. On his 50 free he actually added .73 seconds to his time but got a bad dive. On his 100 breaststroke he knocked off 2.64 seconds but got DQ'd cuz he didn't touch both hands on the wall at the end of one of his laps (refs can be so picky sometimes!) Still, personal bests on 2 out 3 events. Not a bad meet so far. Tomorrow he swims the 100 free and 100 back.

yippy!!!! go Josh. That is so awesome. I was just thinking the other day that all of those boys are turning 13. Some of them we had at 9 Josh came in with us at 10it is hard to believe that they are now all teenagers. And to think they were Robbies age (now) when we started scouting with them all.
We did come to Utah, but didn't see anyone other than family. WE stayed at my brothers in AF and really didn't leave his house until Monday and went and did our taxes and some shopping then headed out. I guess we did end up in Park City for 2 days cause of the weather. :) Hopefully, the next time we come will be longer than a Saturday night all day Sunday and leave Monday morning deal. I guess that was longer for us. :) WE love you guys!!!!
