This swim meet was one of 2 weekends where we host the meet. We started Saturday night with a carb-loading dinner. Families brought all sorts of pasta dishes and fruit and veggies for a big pot luck dinner. It was a great time for Mike and I to get to know some of the other parents on the team, as our kids quickly ditched us to sit with their friends. It was announced that the coach had picked Tommy as one of the captains of the team. He already knew this and was pretty excited.
Sunday morning, we were at the pool pretty early. I was working concessions and the kids had to be there for warm-ups. They started the meet kind of like they start football games. They had all of our swimmers line up in twos and march on deck to music and cheering. Tommy got to be one of the leaders. I wish I had my camera at that time, but I didn't, perhaps next time.
The kids seemed to have a good time hanging out with their team mates
and they both swam well....
In addition to concessions, team spirit wear was on sale. So even though they both have 4 t-shirts for the team already, I bought them some sweatshirts. The spirit wear tent also had items geared toward the parents, in a way only a swim team in Italy could.....
That's right, we have our own wine! When I asked how much, they quoted me on what a case costs. Since I am not sure how long it would take for me to drink a case of Sigonella Swordfish wine, I just bought a bottle.
There really isn't much going on this weekend. Sam is out of town for a cross country meet, and we will be continuing to organize all our stuff. I think all the boxes are unpacked and in our carport waiting to be picked up, which is supposed to happen Monday. Now I just have to get all the pictures hung and figure out storage for everything. Then I will post some before and after shots of the house.
