Three Little Pigs and a Halloween Meet

On Sunday, October 23, Kade and I had tickets to see "The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs" presented by the Raleigh Little Theater. 

This particular show was performed outside in the Amphitheater.  After we put our blanket down to secure second row seats, we strolled around the rose garden to pass the time. 

He's a tough cookie - would not let me take a picture with him until he took a picture of me. 

The performance was cute - most of them were kid actors. My perfectly honest Kade remarked "I liked it, but I didn't love it." Hard to instill a little culture in these boys!

Halloween weekend brought the annual Halloween Bash to the Triangle Aquatic Center. Brock swam in four total races - two on Saturday and two on Sunday. My Dad was able to join on Saturday and watch Brock compete. 

This meet was broken up into two divisions - 10 & under and 11 & over - except for one event where they combined ALL ages - his 100 yard individual medley. 

First race, which was a long wait from when he arrived at the meet, was the 10 & Under 50y Freestyle. 

He did really well - with a time of 33.12, placed second out of thirty-three participants overall. 

Second Saturday race was the Open 100 Individual Medley - he had to swim all four strokes. He did really well overall. He was seeded in the 9th heat out of 13 total. Placed 5th in the heat, 39th overall (121 swimmers) with a time of 1:28.76. 

Not too bad - he was swimming in a heat with two other of his Lifetime buddies - Joud and Noah - both 11 years old!

Sunday was a morning meet and he didn't have to wait long - his first event was the first of the day - 10 & Under 50y Butterfly. He did okay for a time of 39.14, placing second (out of 39 swimmers). 

Last event - 10 & Under 100y Freestyle. Placed Fourth (out of 19 swimmers) - someone in an earlier heat squeezed in with a better time than Brock's time of 1:17.40. Good job Brock!
