We're swimming USA!!! Yay! I'm so happy. I love the team and so does my brother. My mom and I agreed that if he likes it,then that means something,because my brother doesn't really like swimming that much. Well,not near as much as I do,I mean. The cool thing is, is that the coaches really want us all to make friends with each other. They always tell us to just introduce yourself and just say hi. The team does some fun things like they go on a hayride,they have a Christmas party,and even lasertag! I love lasertag! I've only ever been on ce before with my cousins and I had a ton of fun that time so I'm sure I'll have fun this time too.
Practice was pretty hard last night. We always do a warm-up of 6 100's kick (no rest,really,. Like 10 seconds.) and I'm not that great at kicking. So that wears me out a little. Then we did some drills and then we had to do 3 200's 5 second break! I love 200 freestyle! So I got to lead my lane in that because thats like my best event and I love it so much. We then had like 2 minutes rest (my coach LOVES to talk) and then we did 2 300's. After that,we did more drills and then we did a couple of relay starts. After that,we had dryland where you do like,sit-ups, push ups,pullups ( we have bars in the pool area that you can do these on), and some other stretches and stuff. That takes like half an hour. The cool thing is, is that I got to skip that because I went to my friends house for dinner. My brother stayed, though, and he said he liked it. I was way too tired! The practices aren't as hard as my old winter team,but they're pretty close. The coaches are telling us that through out the season, the practices will be getting harder and harder.
So,after practice I went to my friends house. This is my friend who is on the same swim team as me so her dad just picked us up and took us to her house. We had Dominoes Pizza there and it was really good. For over and hour, we made videos. The story was really weird and I'm not going to explain it here, because its very odd. My friend and I were the cameraman and my friends two sisters and two of their friends were the ones acting. It was halarious! We watched it on their TV and it was really funny. The rest of the time we were ther, my friend and I just hung around and talked and read magazines and stuff. I was sad when I had to go home!
Well,I'll write again soon! Bye

Glad to see you got the team you wanted. Sophie has basketball tryouts this week. And then we are going camping next weekend. I wish you lived closer.
