An Idina/Swim Meet weekend

Shandi and I got the AWESOME opportunity to see Idina Menzel perform at Wolftrap a few weeks ago. She was stellar.

We were SUPER excited before the performance!

THIS IS WHERE IDINA WAS ABOUT TO BE!

There she is!

 Idina doesn't where shoes while she performs. She likes to be comfortable.

 This is just for Sarah (:

The next morning we woke up early to go to Garrett's All Stars swim meet. He was the first alternate so we weren't even sure if he'd get to swim (chances were slim), but we went anyway for the experience... and because the pool is close to Krispy Kreme donuts.

 It was super busy with all the fastest swimmers in the Norther Virginia Swimming League!

Braeden is extremely handsome.

 This is mom and Garrett right after he warmed up for his event. At this point he wasn't going to swim, but he warmed up because in the case of a false start he would get the chance to swim.

 I was sitting across to pool and zooming in with my camera. See if you can spot our little stud in these shots!

He's not in this picture... Tha'ts my mom (:

 Garrett got a ribbon for being the first alternate (actually technically he was the second alternate but someone dropped out at some point during the week). The moral of the story is that he is the 20th fastest swimmer for the 100 meter IM for the 13-14 boys.

He didn't get to swim, but he was in the picture looking as handsome as ever and we got donuts after all. Over all it was a great experience. Getting to go to all stars but not swimming lit a fire in him and he intends to work hard to make it sometime in the coming years. I'm so proud of him and his accomplishments.
