Our last swim meet on Guam

Caitlin off the blocks.


For our girls swimming has been such a HUGE part of their life here on Guam. They joined a newly formed Navy youth swim team shortly after we arrived on island, quickly learned how to do all the strokes and have been swimming ever since. So this past Saturday was a bittersweet day for them (and us). It was their last meet as Typhoon swimmers and it was the long course championship meet. All four of the girls swam very well and did their best.
Caitlin's age girls relay team made a bet with the boys relay team (same age). Guess who won that bet? WRONG! The boys overwhelmingly won this year for a change! Of course that did not stop the girls from trying to change the rules when they realized they were gonna lose. Girls will be girls! Now the girls have to serve the boys there dinner at the awards banquet on Thursday.
Gracie was the only one of our sweeties that earned enough points in the meet to get an award. She placed third in the girls 8 and under category. Go look at LC Meet pics in our photo album linked to the right to see her proud little grin.
