Piranha Pride

A big chunk of our summer was spent at the pool as Drew and David practiced and competed on the Prestonwood swim team. Drew had a great season, swimming competitively in free style, backstroke, and relays and improving significantly on breast and fly.  In addition to being completely spoiled by the coaches and teenage swimmers, David also loved swimming and improved a ton. We all had a blast spending most evenings at practice and Tuesday nights at meets.  The boys were troopers as swim meets run way past our normal bedtime! The season ended with an awards banquet where the boys each received a medal and David was awarded the Mighty 6 and Under Coach's Award.  We were extremely proud and David was pumped!  Drew won the same award last year so now they have a matching set.  The coaches were so complimentary of the boys, commenting on their good attitudes, constant smiles, and impressive swimming.  I was one proud mama! Until next summer...

Drew's medal.  

David with his "bupple head."  The Coach's Award is a bobble head swimmer, pretty cute.  

Coach Michael

Head Coach Paul

Coach Shannon.  She is an absolute sweetheart and on numerous occasions jumped in to swim with David when his nerves got the best of him.

Coach Sydney.  May I be obnoxious for a minute?  Coach Sydney's Mom came up to me at the banquet to say that Sydney talked about the Davis boys all summer. She said their dinner conversations were "David Davis this, David Davis, that...." Very sweet of her and we all adore her just as much!

David and his pal, Anneka, showing off their awards.  

Drew with new friend, Jacob.  Jacob lead the 7-8 group, quite a rock star in the pool.  

David being silly with one of his new pals.

At a meet

 The boys love decorating their backs.  

Sometimes David would get tired and make this face.  

And at the final meet, he went ahead and took a snooze.
