Kenzie and Emma had fun at the Fall Open. 5 events with 1 first place finish, two second place finishes, and Kenzie shaved 21 seconds off her 50 free!

Kenzie and Kailynn made the state team! Kenzie swam the 50 butterfly and the both girls competed in the freestyle and medley relays! Kenzie dropped almost 1/2 second of her 50 fly time. They came in 2nd for the freestyle relay but got disqualified on a technicality and came in 3rd for the medley. Not bad for their first time at state!!
After just a year on the swim team, Kenzie qualified for the state teams. She swam the 50 fly , dropping almost 1/2 second from her qualifying time, and her two relay teams placed second for free (but DQ’d on a technicality), and third for the medley!
Kenzie is getting more comfortable with swim meets (she LOVES to swim but the noise and faced-paced schedule at a swim meet can be overwhelming)… and she seemed to have fun this time. She did great! Two won two of her heats, then placed first once and second twice! She also shaved 4 seconds from her 25 free! First time diving off the blocks for a race!

Our traditional Black Friday pictures with Santa! Kenzie asked for Grace, Grace’s bakery, and mir AG/OG accessories…
So this weekend Kenzie really impressed me. We needed to give the new puppies their vaccinations and she decided that she wanted to learn how to do it.
Rather than turning her loose on the dog with a syringe, we decided to do some practicing first and used an orange to perfect her technique. She stuck with it and practiced over and over again until she felt confident. Then she got down with Oreo and did a perfect job putting the needle in and giving her the vaccination. Not bad for 7 years old. This kid amazes me!
Funny sidenote: I just about peed myself laughing when during the practice phase she handed me the orange so that I could “hold the patient” 🙂
