Gray had a super swim meet last weekend in Fayetteville. Saturday she posted 3 best times and swam the 200 free for the first time. Sunday was a different story...right after the warmup, she was coming up to the second deck to see us...she was hoping to go thru the large heavy airtight steel door, and a man was coming out. Her little foot got stuck under the door! She had a five inch, purple line of a bruise across her entire spread of toes, and red gouges. It was awful! She cried so hard! We seriously thought something was broken. For about 20 minutes she resigned herself to crying in a heap and quitting. Her first race was coming up, and Daddy stepped in. He took her for a walk and gave her the big pep talk. I have no idea what was said, but she rallied and swam all of her events....not her best swims, but she did it. And her foot is STILL swollen and purple lined today.
This week was the beginning of dry lands 3 mornings a week - workouts on the track at 6:30 am. Then softball camp from 9-12. Jack is at strings camp this week with a final concert on Saturday morning.
Special thanks to Nana and Papa Beach for the ice cream money - half was already used last night!
No travel for Pete this week...D

Hey! We're home and catching up on all your blogs. We couldn't be prouder of the young scholars in your family. We join you and Pete with great pride. Gracie can do it all right! How amazing that she was able to compete after the smashing her foot took! We had a great time, but are very happy to be home again. Love, M and D, N and P
