Reggie's first swim meet:  Well let's just say that Reggie's first swim meet was interesting...  Getting there and situated I thought was going to be the hard part because I had K (Trina and Ainsley were in Santa Cruz at a gymnastics meet) and then the meet started.  It rained the entire time and we're not talking sprinkle, more like a monsoon.  Luckily the swim team we belong to had pop up tents which at least kept us somewhat dry in between Reggie's events.  There wasn't a dry bone in our bodies.  At one point Reggie was drinking hot chocolate in between his warm-up and next event and was shaking like a leaf.  He did well for his first meet and placed 3rd in the 50 free.  His coach was very impressed with how fast he went.  Now we just need to get his flip turns down and his entry dives and he'll be good to go.  The best part was when we were driving home, soaked to the bone and Reggie says "dad I actually had a lot of fun."  That's what it's all about!  I tried to upload a video but it doesn't appear that it will work.  Maybe it is too big.  Next time...
