Have Kids. Will Travel

Wednesday night I climbed into bed at 10:30 pm. Thursday morning (if you can call it that) I got up at 3:30 am and drove to College Station for Soren to swim the 200 IM at the Texas Age Group Swimmers Championships. The race was held at the Texas A&M Natatorium; wow, that was an incredible facility. It was neat for Soren to swim at the most prestigious meet in the state, even if she was so tired that her kicks did not even break the water :) She added quite a few seconds to her time from Lonestar, but had fun none the less.

We were in College Station just long enough for Soren to swim one race and then we jumped back in the car and headed East to Destin, Florida! Nana, her friend Michelle, Kara and her kids were on the road and we met up with them about two hours outside of Florida and arrived at our hotel around 10 pm. Long day for me.

our first morning. heading out to check out the hotel and find the waves

i liked this one; i think she was getting used to the salt water in her mouth

could only round up these 4 at the time

this was a water fall over a cave that you swim through at our hotel

pops was there!

we did have some storms, but they did not chase us inside. if you are already wet, who cares about a little rain? the lightning was a little concerning at times, but we are still here

the crew minus kara and michelle at the snorkel beach

reese and ashton did not get out of the water the entire time. we were worried that they would dry up on the way home. they would walk out, ride a wave in, walk out, ride a wave in...
