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.

Sarah Knitting

Sarah over Memorial Day (on the Oregon coast)

Here are some photos of Sarah visiting Anna (Aunt Jan) recently. She's on Coxcomb Hill with Youngs Bay in the distance. She's knitting with her mother.

Little Boston Totem Pole

Alan and Sarah and I took a little detour over to Little Bostom and got out in the drizzly overcast day to photograph the totem pole there. And I was surprised to see a new one being carved.
