Swimming



Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. 

Today we had to go very early to Oakley, near Pittsburg, CA for swimming competition of our granddaughter, 7, who competed in 6 events.She finished  first place in butterfly,and one fourth place in freestyle and fifth in backstroke. She finished the 100 meters individual medley. Lots of swimming for a 7 year old.In the afternoon we stayed in our son’s house and watched the Olympics on TV. We just got home 2 hours ago.

our granddaughter is nearest to the camera-prepares for the start of the 25 meter-backstroke
