Colin qualified for Conference this year in swimming. Just like last year, but in this year he qualified in almost every event (whereas last year it was just the 25 free).
He did awesome. And he had a lot of fun competing and trying to better his stroke.
He swam in the 25 free, 25 fly and 25 back.
He made it to finals in both the fly and free, but got disqualified on the backstroke because, as luck would have it, he had a seizure during his race and barely finished (this was before we started him back on the medication, he is doing quite well right now). That story is quite lengthy, so just ask if you are interested, but he was able to make it to the end of the pool okay.
Love this goofy kid
Colin's birthday actually fell on the first day of swimming conference.
We celebrated with donuts and lots of balloons.
He got a great Pokemon card gift from Maggie...
and an orange balloon from Eli - just kidding, Eli got him some slippers.
It is getting difficult sometimes to get a good picture of this crazy kid
Sitting in lane 1 for the 25 fly
After the meet was over in the cool down pool - he was really proud of himself
We watched a movie later on...
And celebrated Colin's birthday the next day by going out to eat at Nick and Jakes.
We love that place...
I wonder what he was wishing for, and I will likely never know, but I know this kid will do amazing things in life!
Happy 8th Birthday Colin!
