John Sullivan Firecracker Invitational 2022

The day finally arrived for the travel swim meet of the year.  This year it's a whole lot closer than Montana and a whole lot bigger with 20 teams participating .  Las Vegas is closer and warmer with another plus more kids are going. Ryder worked hard to earn the money to go.  He is definitely ready for the trip, This year they are going in style.

Meeting spot was WCCC hopefully we can find them. 

We had no problem finding the group.
Is the bus big enough?
Everyone was able to all ride together more team bonding.

They are off....

Send me a picture
Is always my text when the kids set out on an adventure.
Not much to look at out the window.
Nice seats to relax while on the bus.

Another send me a picture request.
This one took me some time to figure out.
My first guess was an air mattress with a pump.
Nope!!
A Belgium Waffle Maker
He was making his breakfast.

They made it!!
Why is he hiding in the behind everyone?

Another waffle breakfast.
This kid loves waffles of any type.

Another group picture

Hanging out between events.
Not sure how this happened that they are old enough to do this without parents.
Maybe its the chlorine acting like Miracle Grow with all the water.

Starting blocks!!

Hanging out with each other.

Everyone had a great time swimming their hearts out.  Ryder earned another state qualifying time.  He was exhausted when they finally made it home.  I hope he rests up to enjoy and can enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend.
