This is the craziest week for our swim team. The kids have practices every night, the annual fundraising, the swim a thon, and ending with lights out lock in party. Ryder had his team picked out and they planned their strategy to win the team competition. They swam until they were ready to drop. There was just enough time to shower, eat, and pack up essentials for the overnighter. He jumped out the car, waved goodbye, and slammed the door.
Saturday morning time for the final event Cotton Days Parade. Last years was canceled it was time to for a make up parade. The whole county turned out or so it seemed.
Lots of people
A couple of masks.
WCCC Float
Once again they managed to get me wet.
Day of Service
Groups of local youth were picking
up trash, weeding, and teasing each other.
Here comes the team.
They all look at little tired.
Maybe zombies?
Passed Out
I caught up with them a couple of blocks away. Ryder jumped in and was sleep before I hit the first stop light. He was once again starving but couldn't keep his eyes open long enough to open his mouth. I did get him into bed and slept for 8 hours straight.
He claims he had fun with all his friends and never slept. His team did win the most laps. His planning paid off. Monday will come with school and practice. Time to catch some zzzzzz's.
