Abby competed in her second swim meet today. She had to be on deck at 8:45 AM this morning and the meet didn't end until 2:30 PM. She swam in five events and had a great time. Luckily for us, Daniel was rather cooperative!!
Abby is so proud of her brother and likes to introduce him to her friends. He loves her too (most of the time)!
Abby's last event was a 100 freestyle relay -- her first relay in a competition! She swam in the anchor position (although she didn't know what "anchor" meant, so we had to explain it to her after the fact). She received this medal at the end of the meet and, as you can see, was DELIGHTED. She wore the medal around for hours after we got home.
She placed in all four of her non-relay events -- 25 freestyle, 25 backstroke (Abby has a BEAUTIFUL backstroke), 25 butterfly, and the 25 breaststroke. And she improved her personal best in three of the four events. She was so excited to get big ribbons, but was disappointed to get a pink ribbon. Pink is not a favorite color of Abby's so she keeps trying to give it to me.
And like all champions, Abby gives her medal a kiss!
