On Saturday night, we had the Thunder senior banquet. Parents were invited too. It was enjoyable and very fun to see the kids outside of the pool. One mom said that is was hard to recognize them with real clothes on!
The seniors gave Coach a little gift.
Pumpkin has a wonderful coach. He is such a great role model and has positively influenced his life. We are truly grateful. Not only the coach, but the great set of kids helped keep swimming so important in Pumpkin's life. I think it will be tough on Pumpkin when he walks away from Coach this summer. Fortunately, Coach is a philosophy major and knows how to handle it.
The senior boys (minus one)...heading to Washington University in St. Louis, USCGA, Alabama, US Naval Academy, and Alabama.
Here is the group of senior swimmers. The three boys on the right are heading to service academies, two to Naval Academy and one to USCGA. 
It was fun catching up with senior parents. The best thing is that swimming is still going on. The guys are heading to the beach over Memorial Day and the team heads to Pensacola a few weeks later.
We've tried to convince Peanut to swim, but no such luck. I hear him and am all for him paving his own way. We hope the cross country and soccer coaches are just as exemplary.

Lots of banquets and probably lots of choking back tears! It is fun to hear where everyone is headed. It's funny to hear Alabama because we never hear the Southern colleges mentioned up here!
