the first swim meet

The boy's first swim meet, June 22nd at Draper Pool.

Stick found some relatives to hug!

The swim meet was interesting.

Truth be told, the boys didn't do very well, they both came in last or next to last on every single race.  This was a new experience for them, as they are very accustomed to being the best at everything they do.

As parents, of course we were sad that they were disappointed, but we were able to talk about humility, expectations, doing your best, the importance of practice, etc.

Often life's little bumps can be great learning experiences.
