Sadie had her first friend birthday party this year and it was so much fun! We invited all of her friends to my mom and dad’s house to celebrate her turning five years old.

The Pirates game on Sunday was awesome (they won!) and hot. I put sunblock on only to sweat it off about 2 minutes later! Pictures from the game:
$6 for a bag of cotton candy *sigh*

Leopard bra + baggy tank top = bad idea haha
Since it was SO hot outside Hannah, Molly, and I went in the shade and stumbled upon a prize wheel. You had to be 18 or over to spin it so we got in line because I’m over 18! (by more than a year) and when we got to the front of the line the woman who was going to let me spin totally didn’t believe I was 18. She was like “Are any of you 18?” I was like “Yeaaaaaah i’m 19” UGH! Needless today, I spun the wheel and won a Pirates coffee sleeve that my brother put on his coffee this morning before work.

Today I did something different and new!!
I swam with a masters team this morning from 6:00-7:00AM
Only 3 other people swam and I loved having my own lane! I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming with a team and having an actual practice. When I swim on my own at my gym I don’t push myself… at all. It was strange to be “pushed”!
I really enjoyed swimming with older people because it was totally different from a club/high school/college team where stress is involved in each practice: getting there every day, being on time, swimming hard every practice, getting good times in meets.
I like to swim, and I love to swim on my own terms.

Do you like to exercise with a team or on your own terms?
