A warm summer day. Ashlyn's swim meet.

Ashlyn first swim meet (in CO). July 10, 2010.
L O O K at this view. (from our pool)

Yes it's real and yes it's what I look at every day.
(we go to the pool daily :)

I actually kind of get excited every morning knowing I get to look outside.

I love the views, the mountains, the lakes.

It seems to make up for (leaving Utah) a bit!

A couple days before the meet,
our Rec center decked out the entire place in

poster boards for our

swim team.

It was so sweet!



When I saw my cute neighborhood pool started a swim team I got excited.

I almost did COMP for Ashlyn.

But not yet, we are enjoying this simple, close, sunny swim team.

Saturday was their first meet.

Boy Ash was nervous!

why oh why.

Her coach put her in 6 events.

wowsies



The meet started at 7:45 and went till noon.

I went early with Ash and Ry and the kids came down later.

We packed drinks and snacks and stayed all afternoon.
We loved the weather and watching Ashlyn and her team.

It was lovely.

This is the very corner of our pool.
It overlooks both pools and the big lake up front.
It is covered from the sun with a big tarp above us.
This is where all the families BBQ and stay all day and evening.
(so come visit us!)
.

They had the swimmers organized and lined up for each event.
They waited out under this corner tarp...

Nice to have a bit of shade.

Ashlyn had 6 events:

She swam:

50 free

50 fly

50 breaststroke

50 backstroke

100 I.M

100 freestyle.



And she did great.

Her first event was the 50 freestyle.

Her best event.



She dropped her time by


2 full seconds!!

That is great for swimming.



Her new time: 34.01!



Way to go girl..

On her 100 freestyle she lapped a few and

finished with no swimmers in sight.


Her flip turns made all the difference. (and her form :)
It was a great morning for the Stott's .
We had fun just relaxing all together.

Good Job Ashlyn. Proud of you girl.
Four 1st places, two second places.

Here are a few pics of our Rec center inside. It is so nice.
The decor is fab.

I wish I had a pic of the work out room upstairs.
It overlooks the basketball court...next time.




Lobby area.



Love you Ashlyn!


(P.S. I look not so cute! Just ran 6 HOT miles!)

I'm so excited for Ashlyn that she did so well and has an awesome place for swimming. The pool, clubhouse and scenery are absolutely amazing! I could definitely spend all day there.

I enjoyed the narrative of your summer loves and of Ashes swim meet. She reminds me so much of you at that age. She is beautiful. How great for her that she can continue on with her life. Hope the kitty is doing well!?
