Keep The Line Moving, Boys...

Each Friday morning during the high school swim season the CHS moms take turns preparing and serving breakfast for the 48 boy swimmers after morning practice and before school.  (The girl swimmers also have the same deal with their moms doing likewise during the girls' high school season, which starts and ends two weeks before and two weeks after the boys' season.)  Photo:  Matt starting at the bagel station and working his way down the line in the pool lobby at the high school this morning.

 

This morning was one of my turns with Sherry (JJ, Lauren, and Jesse's mom) and Sue (Mike and Jimmy's mom).  Sometimes one contributes food and sometimes one contributes food and also stays to work...today I did both, which was a whole lot of fun with all the boys loving the big breakfast...so many "thank yous!"  Photo:  Mike, Jonathan, two freshman swimmers who just swim high school and I don't know their names yet, and Jesse, making their way along the tables of food.  Last photo:  Lauren with her towel head trying to hide behind Nik while she picks up her lunch from her Mom, in blue.  It's all part of being a swimmer...early morning practices, getting dressed and hair done at the pool...the boys have it much easier in those regards than the girl swimmers!

 

Huge amounts of food, not much left at the end, no surprise. 4 dozen assorted bagels with spreads, 6 dozen pancakes, 3 large egg casseroles, 1 crockpot filled with just scrambled eggs, 1 crockpot filled with little breakfast sausages, 4 dozen bananas, 4 dozen oranges, gallon of orange juice, 2 gallons of chocolate milk, 1 gallon of white milk feeds a swim team of about 4 dozen or so.  Just in case you need to do that anytime soon and all.
