Olympic Trials, June26-July 3

For Christmas, we had given tickets to Skylar and James to go watch the swimming Olympic Trials to see which Americans qualify to swim at the Olympics in Rio.  Well, as the date got closer, Skylar got selected to be a volunteer worker at the trials with a couple of her teammates here in Sioux Center. So, we were off to spend a week in Omaha, watching the best swimmers in the world!

 There is a fan zone at the arena where the kids get to play a bunch of swim themed games, like log rolling, swimming "against" Michael Phelps (I even did that one!), goggle toss, and so on!

 While going out to eat, we got to meet some famous swimmers or their fiance and baby (Michael Phelps, baby Boomer in corner)!  I wish I had posted the Lochte one before he trashed a gas station and lied:(
 We had so much fun doing all things swimming!
