Jake's 1st Swim Meet!

 Getting ready for the freestyle!



 2nd place in his first ever race!!
 Getting ready for the backstroke!



 FIRST PLACE!!!
 Daddy's always coaching!
 And finally, the butterfly.
 Tyson and Walker were strategizing.



How cute are his ears here?


Jake swam in his first swim meet tonight, and he did awesome!!!  He got first place in the 6 & under 25 meter backstroke with a time of 53.78.  He smoked the other kids on that one!  And in the freestyle, he got second place with a time of 32.25.  He was right behind the kid in first place for freestyle; in fact, I'm not sure if Jake even realized he lost it was so close. ;)  Lastly, he finished the butterfly with a time of 33.79 for a second place win.  He made me laugh on the butterfly...Jake could see the kid ahead of him at the end, so Jake said "forget the butterfly" and just started freestylin' to try and catch the kid.  Hahaha!  Too bad it didn't work, but it definitely entertained the crowd.

I am so proud of Jake for even attempting this meet.  He's been going to a sports camp this week and has come home everyday just exhausted.  He sure is one competitive little boy!
