Caldwell Invitational

The weekend of my 33rd birthday was also the Caldwell Invitational Meet. The Jolly's thought it was a perfect opportunity to come over and visit. First thing April 13 (6:20am) Hannah and I were on our way to Caldwell. The meet was at the College of Idaho. Once there we set up our chairs and made a base camp. Elayna has become quite the trooper at these events. Give her some snacks and her "video game" and she is content for hours. Hannah was in six individual events and one relay. They have come to count on her as the lead backstroker. I was able to catch a couple of nice action shots with the new camera. Although she DQ'd on the breast stroke, she made personal best times in the 25 back, 50 back, 25 free, 50 free, and 100 free. She even won her heat on the 50 free resulting in yellow lei. The heat winners get a small prize. Seven events and two days later, she left feeling confident in her swimming abilities, but exhausted. Proud of her!!!
