Saturday Snapshot -- Photo Bomb

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme, post a photo that you (or a friend of family member) have taken. Then leave a direct link to your post on West Metro Mommy. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online
Here's one more look at our career as swim parents. Last week we went to the State swim meet.
I took a panoramic shot on my phone so we could remember this time. You can see it's a little shaky with the pool concave in the middle and the guy in red has a misshapen head. But I ended with my husband photo bombing the shot, so it will be a good memory.
If you click on it, you might get a better look at it.

Also, here's a shot of me and Betsy. Betsy is the mother of Tucker's best friend, Josh. We went to a lot of swim meets together. I wonder if we'll see each other now that swim is finished. We still will plan the boys graduation parties together, but after that, who knows.

Now that I look at it, there are a lot of people photo bombing behind us too, aren't there?

Winding Down a Sports Career

This is my last year sitting through swim meets.
Tucker is a senior in high school and he has already decided that he doesn't want to swim in college, so the feelings are a little bittersweet.
Yes, swim meets are long and warm, but I'm so grateful that they aren't outside in the cold.
Tucker swam at sectionals on Saturday and won each of his events.

The beard on his face was thick and, of course, he hasn't shaved the rest of his body yet. 

Now he goes on to Districts. Every year he has shaved his head for districts but he and the other guys decided this year not to shave their heads. They don't want to be bald for prom and graduation, even though their hair would have grown back some.

And Tucker doesn't want to have to wear a wig for the high school musical a few weeks after swim season.
If he finishes in the top two at Districts, he'll go on to States the following week.
Earl has to work on Friday, so I'll be the only one in the stands to cheer on Tucker in what might be his final high school swim.
