A Girl's Weekend!

Skylar has had a rough year this year with her swimming.  She has been working so hard, but not dropping any time in her meets.  So, I thought I would take her to one last swim meet.  I wanted to end on a fun note, so I made it just the two of us to make a girl's weekend out of it. We started with getting our nails painted.

 

Then we went out to lunch at the Olive Garden, her favorite restaurant.

 

She just had one event on Friday night, the 400IM (100 of each stroke).  We knew it was a long shot to make it to Midwestern's because she had to drop 14 seconds to qualify, but it was also her best shot.

Finishing up warm-ups.

 Getting ready behind the blocks..

 Take your marks...

 100 fly

 100 back

100 breast

 100 free

 Exhausted!

But ecstatic, because she blew it out of the water and dropped 17 1/2 seconds to qualify for Midwestern's!!!!!!!

 One extremely happy Midwestern (state) qualifier!!!

 She had more events over the weekend, but none quite as good as that 400 IM!  But to celebrate, we went shopping!!!

 Skylar's loot:)

Her mama might of been a little proud of her swimmer and went a touch overboard!
