Swim Meet & Celebration

Today was my 3rd swim meet…and it was doosey! We got to C’ville High School at a little after noon, and the place was packed to the rafters…literally! Some of the events had 70 kids, so even though my even was only the 9th of the day, we were there for about 3 hours before I raced. It was worth it, though, because I rocked my 50 Backstroke. I shaved more than 8 seconds off of my last time and broke the 1 minute mark! Check me out:

The best part was, the whole crew was there to see it! And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. It was Mema, Gigi, Poppa, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Manata, Riley, Taylor, and of course Mommy, Daddy, and Parks.

It was also the first time I swam the 50 Free, so I now have a benchmark time to compare to going forward. Pepa and TC were able to make that event and officially put the stands at over-capcaity, especially in the “Cheering for Morgan Lee” section.

After the meet, we packed in our snow covered cars and made our way down the street to the C’ville B-Dubs to celebrate Poppa’s birthday. Poppa opened his presents just before we chowed down on our usual favorites. Then, the best part…chocolate cake, courtesy of Aunt Carrie, Riley, and Taylor. We also sugared the sweet tooth with some special cookies covered with chocolate that Gigi helped Parker and I make during our 2 hour delay yesterday. All in all, a pretty full day…in more ways than one. Thanks to everyone for making it out to see my swim meet…it was great to have you all cheering for me!
