Swim Team Banquet

Tonight, we went to Daniel's swim banquet. It's so weird that we're done with those forever. They had the same dinner as always with ziti, chicken alfredo, salad, and bread.

I recorded Daniel's coach talking about him when he got his three-year varsity award. One nice thing that Michael remembered she said for that award is that he is a role model for the other members of the team. 

However, later, she gave him the Knight award, but I didn't realize until it was too late that she was talking about him and Cole so I didn't record it but I did record as he went up to accept the plaque. Here are some of the things she said (I know there is more but this is what I could remember and Michael contributed): She couldn't choose between the two boys so that's why she gave two awards, she said one of them missed one day of practice because she sent him home because he was sick so that must've been Cole, she said they were always the first ones in the pool and the last ones out, they always helped out until she had to say they needed to stop helping out so other people could do it, and they are always cheering on their team. She also said to the rest of the team that they have big shoes to fill now that they're graduating.

It was a wonderful night. Afterwards, we took a bunch of pictures and helped a little bit with cleanup. Daniel and I stayed after and Michael took Jonny home. Daniel helped take the speaker back to a classroom and I talked to the Gassaways a little bit. 

Here is Daniel in the hoodie they gave out to the seniors.

We couldn't be prouder of you, son!
