Winter Swim Meets and a Hurricane Game


This was Kade's first time competing in a swim meet and he was ready! He's waiting behind the block on lane 3 (from the left). 


Kade's 25m freestyle video - he ended up placing 2nd in the event! Woohoo! Not bad for his very first time!


And then his 25m Backstroke!


Brock's turn!


Brock did a great job in his Butterfly!

I'm going to sneak this in here too - Kade had to give a final presentation for his "Technology Wizards" elective - using Google slides to talk about himself. He showed it to us later that evening at home, but these are some shots the teacher sent during class. 




My review - I love that he searched for a random picture of his teacher's name (and uploaded a random lady in his presentation). The only times he's had soda is with his Shirley Temples and those are very few. And typical Kade to throw Brock under the bus. 


Thursday night, the boys had Carolina Hurricane hockey tickets. Brock was assumed to go, but when it came time for hockey night, he backed out - and Kade was all about going to the Star Wars themed night!


The boys had fun - good seats, good French fries - Kade was happy!


Alas, 7pm start time is a bit late for my early riser. I think they made it through the second period and then headed for home. 


Kade was very excited to show off their matching Hurricanes/Star Wars shirts! They say "Take Warning!"


Saturday, December 18th was TAC's Jingle Bell Meet. Papa came to cheer Brock on too!


Brock getting ready for his big swim!



He secured a nice First Place finish! 


Even received some fancy ribbons for his swim meet! 100m IM, 50m Free, 50m Fly. 


The following day, these special ladies and I met up for brunch at the Refectory Cafe in Durham. It was so nice to see everyone after a loong time (pre-Covid)! These are all high school friends - except Michelle - but she married one of our high school friends, so it counts. ;) 

Vanessa, Helen, Michelle, Jill, Darcy

Helen and I had so much fun we had to continue the party - we gathered the boys together for one giant hang-out session!
