Splashin' Through June

This month has been one of the busiest months we have had...even though it has been summer vacation!  I've kept on swimming 5 days a week and still love it!  We've been to the splash pad once so Myla and I could enjoy the water SOME MORE!  Myla has her own goggles now because she wants to be like me.  We've eaten lots of ice cream (Berry Winkle is our favorite with Culver's coming in a close second)!  Daddy and mommy have been working.  We've celebrated Father's Day with our AMAZING DADDY and our WONDERFUL GRANDPAS!  AND we've been packing because daddy starting a new job July 1st and we're moving!!!  Don't worry....we are still staying in the booming city of Muncie and will have more on the packing and moving to report to you soon!  The other two highlights from this month so far have been going to the Festival on the Green and MY VERY FIRST SWIM MEET!  
Festival on the Green was a great Saturday night!  We packed up a picnic dinner, camp chairs and some blankets and headed over to the Arts Terrace at BSU.  The Muncie Symphony had a concert and there was an arts festival all at once.  Myla and I LOVED seeing the snake from the children's museum and petting him.  Mommy thought it was yucky, but we were quite fascinated!  I loved the instrument petting zoo and I got to play the violin, french horn, saxaphone, and the trumpet!  Myla picked on the violin but didn't want to try the other instruments.  We got to dance around during the music AND daddy did the children's parade with us!  The weather was perfect and we had a really fabulous night!
This weekend is my first swim meet.  We had to get up REALLY EARLY (6am) and be at the pool by 7am for warm ups!  I was a little nervous because I heard there were over 400 kids competing over the weekend and because I had never even been to a swim meet, much less competed in one!!!  As a matter of fact, I was the youngest competitor!!
I warmed up with the big kids and I swam in the 50 meter freestyle and the 100 meter backstroke today.  AND I am pretty sure I had the biggest crowd cheering for me!!  I got a big surprise because I thought just mommy and daddy and Myla were coming to watch but Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lesa, Tabatha, Jacob and Kadence, Uncle Patrick, Grandma Donna and Grandpa Dave all got to come!!  I could hear them cheering for me while I was in the pool, especially during the backstroke! And my coach drew tiger paws on my hands to help me swim faster!
I earned 2 ribbons (7th place for freestyle and 5th place for backstroke) and told mommy that even though I was nervous I had a fun time and am excited to do it again!  I got to do lots of celebrating when I was all finished!  I got a new swim suit and cap that I am excited to wear tomorrow (day 2 of my meet) and I got to watch my teammates swim for a while.  Then I got to pick lunch (Mexican) to eat for lunch!  We went to see Grandma Hazel and I told her about my meet and then we had Dairy Queen ice cream for dessert!
Tonight mommy and daddy packed (after daddy and Myla took a little nap) and then Grandma and Pa came over to watch the video of my meet!  It was fun to watch cause I got to see what I looked like and I got to hear everybody cheering for me again!  I LOVED IT!
Tomorrow is going to be another early morning, but we are all looking forward to what may happen!
