I'm kind of hungover today from a day filled with sports yesterday. I ran off to teach my 8 a.m. class, then my husband and I hosted 18 kids for breakfast preparing to swim at the District meet.
My son Tucker, 15, is a sophomore and was swimming in 4 events.
I might as well cut to the chase and say that Tucker made it to the podium for all 4 events, taking 7th place in 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke then finishing in 3rd for both relays he swam. The top 8 swimmers get medals and stand on the podium to receive them.
I was so excited. The whole day was exhilarating, even though we are waiting to hear if their team made it to states. I didn't even mind that I missed the basketball game that my other son was playing in.
Here are Tucker and his teammates, bald, on the podium for their relay.

How exciting! Those guys sure look like swimmers with all their shaved heads. Congratulations :)
That sounds like a very full day! Those are great pictures to remember it all.
Congratulations to your son.
Looks like a fun time for all:). Didn't participate today as I was busy with the Literary Blog Hop Giveaway.
Have a great week.
Congratulations to Tucker! What a great day for him.

Your post captures the joy and exhaustion that comes with such a busy, fulfilling day—hosting 18 kids and supporting their big swim meet is no small feat! It’s inspiring to see your commitment to nurturing young talent.
By the way, has anyone here come across Timescape Books Online? I’m exploring options for creative projects and would love to hear if it’s a good platform for unique storytelling and publishing. Any insights or experiences to share?
The Saturday Snapshot meme is a great way to share moments in photography with the community and encourage community involvement. Balancing teaching, hosting, and supporting a district swim meet is amazing. Similarly, for students who have a full schedule, getting hire someone to do my exam can really help them get through school.
