Go Dolphins!!

So Mia just finished her first season on the SWIM TEAM and had a blast!! It is amazing to see the difference in her swimming and strokes from the first practive in April until now. She did an amazing job, and tried super hard. She loved her daily practices and weekend meets. It kept her (and us) very busy and kept Mia very hungry - I have never see her eat dinner like she did each night after practice. However, with the full heat of summer now here in Texas, Lily is happy the season is over - she was a trooper sitting for hours in the sun watching Mia swim and not being able to get in the pool and swim with her. Mia just completed her last meet and got ribbons in all of her events - her team was undefeated all season!! Go Dolphins.

 

Go Mia - racing in one of her freestyle events.

 

Big smiles from our little swimmer - who knows she just won the race!!

 

One thing we learned about Mia this season - she is quite a competitor. She met lots of friends and had fun at practice, but once she was on the starting block she is all business and serious about winning.

 

More smiles from a girl who just discovered a sport that she loves!! We cannot wait for next season.

And from all that watching - Lily is now swimming all by herself!! She loves her sissy and wants to do everything she does so I knew it wouldn't take long. She now tells us she wants to go do swim team, too. Maybe next year. :) It has been so fun watching the two sisters play and swim for hours each day in the pool together (while mom relaxes and gets some sun). This is what summer is all about!
