Friday morning I texted Jaden to let him know we were almost packed and ready to head out for Midland. It just happened to be His lunch time so we ran by Tascosa to pick him up for a quick lunch then get him back in time to catch the bus.

Poor Papa and Nana. We were too tired to even eat dinner. We opted to just forget about it and get to bed EARLY. Big mistake! By 3:00 A.M. I was outside in my jamies pawing through a dark car looking for 2 lost packages of crackers. I found em'!

Hey, it wasn't just me, Papa was awake and hungry, too! :0)

Saturday morning-Here we are heading to the Midland Aquatic Center and are running late as usual. Jaden said he wouldn't be swimming for a while yet. We had breakfast at McDonald's...yes, yes, I know Dana, but we wanted pancakes, and we like their McPancakes.

Rats! We missed the start of his first race. We probably should have scouted out the Aquatic Center last night, but remember that bit about how tired we were?

Jaden said he didn't do very well because they had him swim a stroke he wasn't used to. We'll catch the whole race, start to finish, next time!

This Papa and Nana are HOT! We're both sweating so much I'm afraid we may be mistaken for 2 of the swimmers. (UhHuh, right!)

He just placed 2nd in the 50 Yard Free-Style in his Heat. Time was 29.07

Go, Jaden!!!

Jaden did great! I thoroughly enjoyed watching how a Meet is organized. It took a really long time, but I don't know of any way they could have speeded it up any. This is all new territory for us.

Very interesting! The next Meet will be the 20th in Altus, OK.

See you there!
