Swim Meets, Birthday and Ski Races

What a busy weekend we had. On Friday Bob went up north to pick up Sara. We had the Spring Lake Invitational on Saturday. Spring Lake swam like champions and ended up coming in Second place! It was a lot of fun to watch and Ben did a great job, it's looking very good for him to swim at state this year.




Eight schools swam at the Invite this year.

Bob and Sara came to the meet after her first day of races and then we went home to celebrate her 14th birthday. After presents and cake we went out to diner at a Hibachi restaurant. I can't believe Sara is 14 already, it goes by in the blink of an eye, doesn't it?

On Sunday Bob and I went to watch Sara race three races. She did such a great job. Taking third place in all three races. We can really see her coming in to her own this year with her racing. And she still loves it.

After the races we climbed in the truck and took Sara back up north to her mom's house. But we stopped in at Bay Harbor to see the winter festival and snapped a few shot's of some really cool ice sculptures!

It was only about 5 degrees out, so you have no idea how accurate this felt!
