Park City Swim Meet ~ February 25-26, 2011

On Friday, February 25, and Saturday, February 26, Ryan participated in the Park City Winter Invitational swim meet. We knew about a month in advance that events would go late into the evening, and then the kids would have to be back in the pool early Saturday morning. I made reservations for a hotel so we could stay overnight instead of driving back and forth that late and early. I’m glad I did. There was a pretty significant blizzard late Friday night/early Saturday morning! Ryan swam a few events on Friday night (looking at the heat sheet in this picture)… The breaststroke, where he finished 8th overall... The butterfly, where he finished 7th…

By the time we left the meet on Friday night, it was snowing. But Ryan had his heart set on pizza at Red Banjo on Main Street. We drove there (about 15 minutes) in a total blizzard! Ryan was thrilled to have dinner at one of his favorite places in the world…even if he did have to walk through slushy snow in his Crocs! We drove back to the hotel, and we were all pretty exhausted, so we went right to bed.

Saturday morning, Ryan swam the backstroke, where he finished 3rd…

And the freestyle in a relay…

It was a fun “stay-cation” for the weekend, and we were pleased with Ryan’s performance!
