After swimming for 2 hours, these Manta Rays are always HUNGRY!

SUMMER'S END CELEBRATION
“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”
~James Beard
Finally posting our potluck party from last August. It has been a whirlwind of a summer for most of us, and it was gratifying to end it with a celebration. Thank you, everyone, for bringing delicious food.
"Success is never final, failure is never fatal.
It's courage that counts." ~John Wooden
Congratulations on your accomplishments.

CONGRATULATIONS, MANTA RAYS!
“Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.”
~T. Alan Armstrong
One of my kids overheard in the locker room, "Rossi won again?!"
But not without the hardwork, perseverance and participation of each swimmer.
Not without the support of the parents.
Not without sacrificing time away from certain activities each swimmer would rather do, like sleeping in, going out with other friends, etc.
Not without our coaches' persistent directions from the early morning practices to the long afternoon ones.
Not without...
Giving up...
Something.
Percy Jackson was in the house!
