Riley Grace's Swim Meet


HOLY COW is my very first description! Riley Grace did SUPER!!! We got there about 4:30 for her warm ups and watched her do all of her different strokes-she's got them all down pat! Maggie Ruth was so excited to see her sister that all she wanted was for Riley Grace to hold her, a little hard for Riley to do getting in and out of the pool, but she was there as soon as she'd get out. They hugged and kissed and hugged and kissed til I almost cried. Then the meet started around 6. Riley Grace was in a freestyle relay, freestyle, butterfly, and breast stroke heat. Her team finished first in the relay, she finished 2nd in freestyle and butterfly and won her breast stroke! Then I cried... but I couldn't let her see it! I was SOOOO proud of her and she's so humble about it. I got to meet her very sweet friend Jordan that lives in her neighborhood in Montgomery and swims on her swim team. They were so cute cheering each other on as well as there other team mates. I wish the pictures were better of her diving in and starting her races, but I was holding a large squirming monkey that wasn't too excited about her sister being at the other end of the pool.
