This was such a fun way to spend Brooke's birthday! We saw some amazing swimming and MANY olympic athletes compete-- right in front of us. I could reach out and touch them! We love to watch swimming and marvel and what can be accomplished when you put your mind and body to it! Coach Dilworth got the tickets for us and we all went out to dinner afterward. (There were a few other parents and kids on the swim team that went.) This makes me so excited for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio '16! We had a great time!
In the stands waiting for it to start. This is Skyline HS where State is held every year.
(I had just gotten my cast on the day before...had to wear it for 2 weeks-- one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever done in my life!)
Athletes ready to go! Michael Phelps is in the jammers in the center/left
with the bright yellow stripes fixing his cap!
Phelps coming back to finish first...(just below the arena sign) in the first leg of the IM.
Phelps again... he had a beard!
Photo op... Lochte walked right in front of us and someone asked him for a picture, so he stopped and took one! I want one with Ryan Lochte! LOVE him! :)
Ryan Lochte signing autographs... Brooke got one and he signed my cast! He asked me what happened so I told him and he said, "Oh, I'm so sorry!" He is such a nice person and so genuine!
Phelps was no where to be found and Lochte stood there for the better part of an hour to sign autographs! I've heard he really loves his fans! Megan didn't want to go to this tonight, but I think when we got home and showed her these pictures, she really wished she had gone!
You missed out Megan! Sorry!!!!!!
