Ryder was going a new adventure with the swim team. This is been planned since April. I volunteered to chaperone but this was quickly vetoed by Ryder. He was going with the team. They were headed to Missoula Montana for the Firecracker Swim Meet. 28 kids and 6 adults loaded up into vans on Thursday morning @ 5:30 am. The kids were excited to get rolling. The parents were excited to say goodbye and go back to bed.
Moving to fast
I was allowed one picture and only
once chance to get it.
I failed!!!
They hit the road by 5:45 am. Thank goodness for "Find MyFriend" app I was able to keep track of him. I texted to send a picture of what he was looking at periodically.
Montana!!!

They are cold.
Headed Home!!
and in Utah.
Welcome Home!!
He grew
He was hoping a little more to top Rylee.
They are both 5'1"
He was exhausted and brought home a cold. He had only a little homesickness the first day but got busy. Everyone worked hard and had a successful meet. Ryder made it to finals the first night and ended up competing in the A Group and didn't come in last.

He really grew from this meet first by being on his own and taking care of himself. He did have a few hiccups along the way but he survived and so did we. I did get the ok to officiate or chaperone the next time.
