We drove to Long Beach Saturday night to see my super swimmer cousin Sara Jayne swim. One of the last times she'll be swimming in a professional capacity! I can't tell you how many of her swim meets I've been to. Lots. Since I was about 9 years old or something. I can't imagine how many swim meets her mom - my aunt - has been to!
The event was at the pool they built for the Olympics back in the day.
Here is Great Aunt Katy and her (first!) Great Nephew Fox.
Precious.
Here's my Chris and Sara Jayne's Tyler. The hubbies.
Sara Jayne is the middle swimmer. Funky photo huh? The swimmers look like liquid being poured into the pool!
Sara Jayne is in lane 3, the gal with the 'Y' cap.
Ogling over Fox. Natch.
He melts my heart! We had to plug his ears cuz it was so very loud as people were cheering their team and family members on.
After the meet the entire BYU swim team went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. Fox got a little (okay, a lot) grumpy so I tried to nurse him at the table under a blanket - my first time attempting to nurse in public and I felt really awkward about it - but he wasn't settling down so I took him out to the car for awhile. He usually goes to sleep for the night at 7 so it's no wonder he was grumpy - we were cutting into his precious beauty sleep! So I rocked him back and forth and he eventually fell asleep and we ate our dinner then said goodbye and headed home. It was Fox's longest adventure yet: over six hours away from home!
Fun to see you Great Aunt Katy, SJ, and Tyler!

Sounds fun! I remember the first time I tried to nurse in public... I was so nervous and worked up it totally failed. It's great now... a built in bottle where ever we go!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you. Let me know when you think you will be passing through!
Great post. I have yet to see SJ live. I need to go to a meet already. Glad you posted pics.
