I love this photo for a number of reasons. The colorful sleeping bags. The two little dirty-blond heads peeking out. The slumbering swimmers.
Those who are regular readers know that my children are competitive swimmers. Sometimes, while on a road trip, they have to wrestle a few winks in between sessions; sometimes even in between events. They know from 30 combined years of hanging around the pool deck that food and sleep are the fuel that makes those pistons hit at the proper intervals for elite college competition.
Michael Phelps they're not; they're oh-so-much-smarter than that!
So they snag some sleep when they can. It's not always this colorful, nor peaceful, but every so often they paint a pretty picture, don't they?
I thought about engineering an April Fool's Day post, but decided to use this sweet snap instead. Please join us for Wordful Wednesday, over at Angie's Place. You'll be glad you did!

Nothing makes me more sleepy than swimming. So, I can only imagine how sleepy they must have been. I love the colors too. Happy WW!

That's a great shot!!
Very cute! Happy WW!
Oh, how I LOVE that! You know, I don't think I ever slept between events or sessions (too worried I'd miss my call)--but my mom used to often say she saw me yawning while I was on deck waiting. I never could figure out why! Maybe too many 6 AM practices.
What a great picture!
Yes, that's a beautiful photos!
They are so sweet when sleeping, no matter what age.
What an adorable picture!!
The colors really make you want to look at the picture's details.
I really love that pic! Great sleeping bags and smart girls :)

I SOOO need a nap now. that looks heavenly!
They look so peaceful. : ) I know swimming makes me want to nap so I can imagine how they must feel.
Thats a fun, pretty picture. My daughter was a swimmer too and it was a lot of fun to go to her meets.
My best friend was a swimmer and I tagged along for many a meet... and took many a nap on a high school hallway floor
Looks like a much deserved rest. I love the colours as well!
What a beautiful and sweet shot! That is so gorgeous hun!!!!
