Warming up for his first swim meet.
Getting instructions from his coach.
Him with one of his coaches.
Fourth place in backstroke.
His best stroke is the breaststroke. Third place is not bad for his first race.
We convinced him to try the butterfly stroke. They hadn't really worked with him yet on it, but it was all for experience. He got 7th place, but the fact that he tried it was incredible. 
Just when the races where about to start Kinley said she wasn't feeling well. I started walking her towards the bathroom when all of a sudden she threw up everywhere. I caught much of it in her clothes because of the way I was holding her, but we had no spare clothes. Hence, she ended up in my shirt. Luckily I had a somewhat thick enough white undershirt to still kind of be seen in public. Once she got her tummy emptied out, she was playful as ever.

He brings us so much joy. Is really is a great kid!
Hunter getting instructions from the best swimmer in our family, Steven.
Steven used to be a lifeguard which has been such a blessing for our family. He really works with the kids every chance he gets.
We finally got him official swim team shorts. He had much more confidence feeling so official and all.
Waiting for his race. 
And he's off!
Happy Hunter!
