Swimming National Championships



One of the random benefits of living in Irvine is that it's a hotbed for swimming, and this week Irvine hosted the National Championships (try to spot Ava in the stands on Sunday on NBC).

After doing really well at her own swimming lesson in the morning, Ava was excited to go see the grownups compete at the swim meet. Not knowing what to expect and whether she would be into it, she chose a few books and her Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal for her backpack and we made the short drive to the Woollett Aquatic Complex.
We didn't need to worry, as Ava enjoyed all the races with Mommy, Daddy, and our friend Jen.

She saw a wealth of talent including Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Natalie Coughlin, and Amanda Beard.
Ava clapped, cheered, and danced throughout the beautiful summer evening.
Bye for now!
