This last weekend marked the 79th Annual LaJolla Rough Water Swim and our 3rd year participating in this great event. Makenna competed in it for the 3rd time and I competed for the 2nd time. Kiley chose to "opt out" after her first swim last year. This event is also a fun social time for our swim team. We all traveled to LaJolla on Saturday and met at the cove for a practice swim with Coach Wade. We all stayed at the Sheraton and then enjoyed yet another great dinner at TGIFriday (which of course included their yummy 
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake). Although only about 10 families from our team participated, we enjoyed getting to know those families better and then cheered each o
thers' children on the next day at the event. The current in the water was quite a challenge for all the swimmers this year. It was truly a Rough Water Swim! Just about all the swimmers had slower times than years past, but since my goal was just to complete it, I reached my goal! An added bonus this year was that my parents came down to cheer us on and our "front row friends" Bill and Janet surprised me by showing up too. It was a great weekend and we definitely earned our medals!!!
