Spook Splash

Last weekend we headed to Lander for the first CKAT meet of the season. This is always such a fun meet and includes a Halloween themed relay in the middle of the first day. Since Bailee wanted to compete both days of the meet, we stayed overnight. She did so well and received ribbons in several events. She placed 9th overall in the 100 Back....way to go Bay!!!

Our team has grown this past year and we had double what we had last year at this meet for sure. They are so good to support and cheer for one another!!

Bailee has become good friends with a few of the girls and it is so fun to watch them all wait to congratulate each other after their heat.

These two are quite the little cheer leaders...yelling for Bailee as well as all the other CKAT swimmers. They were sooooo good sitting in the stands for 2 very long and HOT days by the pool.

After the first day's meet, we had some time to kill before our room was ready. We took the girls to this Pioneer Museum where you could walk through the buildings set up like a pioneer village. Unfortunately, the buildings were closed for the day but we had fun walking around and looking inside anyway. The girls felt like they were living the dream of Little House on the Prairie.


Emmrey loved ringing the Old Schoolhouse bell, although she could barely reach it on her own.

The girls stopped for a break in the "pooper"....it was a double seater and all!!

It was a gorgeous autumn day and we were drinking it all in.

The girls were torn between staying longer and getting to the hotel to swim. In the end they decided to call it a day in the village and hit the pool.
Before heading for home the next afternoon, we had to take advantage of the beautiful weather and hike around Sinks Canyon for some fall colors....it was well worth the trip!!
