At the Dallas Aquatic Center
Sarah gazing out to the pool. She and Bryce dove off the diving board, slid down the water slide, and played with innertubes. And Sarah would sometimes come and pose for a photo with me while I read at the side of the pool.

The Brady "Twims" and the Hoffer Girls
Petra was in Port Townsend for a fiddle camp. Her girls dropped by for a visit and here is the updated photo. My greatest joy was I could easily pick out Wren from Clio...no problem. I haven't seen them in 5 years? But, they have grown up more and more different. They were completely identical to me in China and pretty much when they were 5 years old. What a difference.
Relaxing at our team area
Sarah with Coach Ashley
Sarah at Pendleton Swim Meet
Sarah on deck before her race. It was 90 degrees every day and the water park next door was a welcome relief on Saturday. Sarah was awesome in her races....she dropped lots of time off her events.
She was 12th in her 50 meter back...dropped 10 seconds (in a 50 is incredible!)
She was 17th in her 200 IM...dropped 16 seconds!
She was 33 in her 100 Free.
19th in her 50 Breast.
20th in her 50 Free (dropped 3 seconds!)
18th in her 50 Fly. (dropped .... drum roll... 14 seconds...in a 50!!!!!!!!)
14th in her 100 Back...dropped 8 seconds.
13th in her 200 Free ... established a time (never swam before)
Her coach said he was "shocked" at her 50 Fly and "surprised" that she won her heat in the 200 Free against a girl twice her size! She had an AWESOME meet!

Sarah's new fish
Sarah has a new fish. I think his (her?) name is Skipper? Or maybe it's Flipper? I'm not sure. Anyway, she wanted to borrow my camera to photograph him (her?). I thought the fish seemed a little hyper. Always doing speed racing in circles around the fish bowl. Or maybe he was seeing his (her?) reflection in the side of the fish bowl. Hmmm.....one of the puzzlements of life.
