Twin Lakes Awards Banquet

Last night was the swimming banquet for the Twin Lakes swim team, and it was really nice! They gave a whole bunch of thank you's to everyone that helped, and gave gift cards to the main helpers at Twin Lakes. Then the coaches gave out the medals to all of the swimmers, pink for girls and black for boys, and gave trophies to the swimmers under the age 6. John Mark and John Luke were really excited about that, because they have never gotten trophies before, even though they couldn't swim this year. Then they gave the trophies that were a lot bigger to the older kids. There was 3 groups for each gender of each age group, ( 8 & under, 10 & under, 12 & under, 14& under, 18 & under ) which is Most Improved, Most Dedicated, and Most Outstanding.  after that is the Sycimore award, when the coaches give a really special award to on boy and one girl who were really filled with the team spirit, and Meghann, a girl in my age category got the girls, and Noah got the boys. Then they did the coin toss for all kids age 10 and under 10, where they threw a whole bunch of coins into the pool and the kids got them. After that it was just free swim, and they did the " Watermelon Game" as I call it, where they take a watermelon covered in I don't know what, and throw it in the pool. The kids over the age of 14 are split into 2 groups and they have to try to get the watermelon out of the pool on the other teams side, and they can't throw it. I think it is a dangerous game. Hahaha.
