Summer JO's are history!

8-5-07 Today was the final day of JO's and it was all team relays today. Congrats to all the kids who swam for their team! And hats off to all the parents who for some, was 5th day down there!

And finally, a BIG THANKS to Coaches Vicky, Audy, and Matt for being there the whole time for the kids. Few know the countless weekends they give up to be at swim meets. They're all young and none have kids, so they could be going away for the weekends with their friends. Instead, they're working for our kids' success. You're dedication to our kids is inspiring!

Here are some final pixs I took today. Hopefully, now that I'm back home for a good chunk of time, I'll be able to work on a short video of JO's, so stay tuned!

Practicing the timing for the relay.

Can you guess what the older girl's relay team was doing in this picture? Were they: A. Taking a nap. B. Praying for success. C. Practicing visualization of their upcoming race?

The boy's team landed on the podium--congrats!

As is Summer's tradition, we had to eat at her post-meet restaurant, Souplantation! Fortunately, we weren't going to the one in Pasadena...there was one right in Fullerton which allowed us to beat the post-church rush. We were joined by the Sabangans and Cunnan families.

Congrats again to all those who qualified for JO's! Now it's time to focus on AA-min meet in Dec. and Spring JO's next year! Go RST!
