Party Weekend

Aah. We made it to Sunday night. Relax.

Kids are snug in bed. It is 9:00. That is a great time right now. 

It has been 10:00 almost every night this past week.

The girls went to Girl Scout Twilight camp last week. Four evenings spent

learning about health. The theme was Olympic Gold.

Conleigh was o.k. with it but didn't love it, and Campbell is ready to sign up 

for next year already.

Check out her swap hat. It is full & fun!

When the girls got home Friday night, Grandma and Grandpa Hardin were here to visit for the weekend. They were troopers and came up early to the swim meet and stayed til even 80 (at the very end). I think they enjoyed watching the kids swim and were impressed with what strong swimmers they are.  I also think the kids swam extra hard because they knew they had an audience.

Grandma got herself a Sharks shirt. That is spirit!

Conleigh had a rockin' day. She got four heat ribbons out of her five events. She improved on all her times.  Campbell is ready for the season to be over. I hope we can convince her to swim again next year. Alex has a beautiful stroke. It looks like he is going slow but he really isn't. It is just smooth. He got 8th in 50 free, 11th in 25 free, and 13th in breast stroke. It was a tough team. I'm trying to remind the kids that they are swimming to improve their own times. It is working. We will be getting a lot of Time Improvement ribbons this week.   Onward to one more swim meet this season.

Waiting at the Shark tank for the Coach/Parent relay at half-time.

The grandparents volunteered to take the kids to see ~Brave~ last evening, so Peter and I took the opportunity to go to a friend's birthday party up in Wahlberg at the German biergarten. What a fun place. I can't believe we haven't ever been there. The breeze was enough to make the outside evening bearable.  We danced and had dinner and enjoyed great convo. 

Definitely something to do again with the children.

Clones.

This morning we skipped church which rarely happens. We went to Kerby Lane Cafe for breakfast. Our timing was just right. No wait for us, but the line when we left would have scared us away.
Larry & Kathryn said farewell and headed home to Houston.

We had a little down time before going to our friend Beckett's fourth birthday swim party.

The pool was the place to be. It was H.O.T. today and I think it will just get hotter this week.
