Final Day Final Pictures

Saturday is finally here with the final 2 sessions of this meet. Everyone is ready to finish and head home. First order of business is warmups.

Where did he go?
No matter how fast I snap he is out of the frame.

Weird sight
A circle of wooden cows in the middle of this field.
Darn I didn't get a good picture.

Memories!!
Ryder begged to try Weinersnitchel
after driving by a couple of days ago.



These lived up to the memories.
Ryder devoured his fair share.
The first bite brought all fun memories back.
Amazing that they tasted just like I remembered.

Fresno Temple
We finally found time to find it.

Harley Shop & Museum


Wondering!!

Getting him to stand still
for a picture is almost impossible.

Just like that the meet is over!

As the sun is setting its not really cooling down. Every swimmer was moving slower towards the parking lot. Exhaustion is a funny thing it will hit you from out of the blue. One last night of dinner, Olympics, and sleep. No alarms needing to be set tonight.

Second Photo Dump at Zones

I wish I could tell you what day we are on here in Fresno. They are all starting to blend together get up at 5:15 get ready. Eat the hotel breakfast at 6:15. Drive to the pool for warmups by 7:00. Lunch break from 1:00 to 3:30. Back at the pool by 4:00 with finals until 8:00. Then dinner followed by as much sleep as possible. Repeated for 5 days.

Swimming good!!

Our girls team

Taking a break
to get out of the heat.

Enjoying our popcorn
The movie not so much.

Another round of events.
While we all melt in the heat plus humidity.



Cheering for our team.
Then quickly finding the shade once again.

One more day left with only 2 sessions. The heat has been brutal not only for the spectators but the athletes as well. I'm ready to relax and watch more of the Olympics tonight while Dave & Ryder sleep.
