Here are Dylan's first two gold medals. One for 200 IM (2:38) and the other is for his medly relay. Yesterday he also swam 50 free and did get best times in both prelims and finals but got 4th, so he didn't qualify for Provincials with that event. Oh well.
Today he swam 100 back (1:12) and got another gold. His freestyle relay came in second.
Sean swam 50 fly yesterday and came in 5th (:35.xx). His medly relay came in third.
Today, Sean swam 100 back (1:22) and came in 2nd! He qualified for Provincials in an individual event, which we were not sure would happen for him this year. Then, to make things even better, his freestyle relay also came in second, so his entire team qualified. Sean was the anchor man, and left the blocks several seconds after the team next to him. By the end of the 50 meters, Sean had passed him. It was a close race (too close for comfort) but those are so exciting to watch. Especially if your team wins in the end.
Tomorrow Sean will get the medals he earned today, as well as his Provincial Qualifier t-shirt, which you can see on Dylan in this picture. I'll post more pictures tomorrow.
I'm getting pretty tired. I'm very glad that Lee is here; he's such a great help and good company.

Congratulations, Dylan! Gold is YOUR color! And congratulations to Sean, too. I'm glad that both boys are going to Provincials.
And I'm glad that Grandpa is there to chronicle this event and spend time with all of you, although I'm more than a little jealous!!
Hope that tomorrow is a repeat of today's victories!
Love you all, lots and lots!!
