Day 5: Barcelona Training Trip!

Day 5: Barcelona Training Trip!
Welcome to Day 5 of our 2017 HAC / GCAC Barcelona Training Trip!
Everyone swims twice today because we have the whole pool to ourselves, for the most part!!!
After lunch we had the dance competition, and boy was it a doozy!

Stretching before workout!
Reading the board before hopping in!!!
Briana's thrilled to have her bathing suits, now she can two piece like everyone else!
Almost ready to go, don't forget your water bottles!
Having a blast, suffering with everyone :)
Ogradydancingtime and Caitniss having a rest before the main set!!!
Daniel and Stacy are hanging tough!!!
After practice, Mckenna + Alisha + Jenna + Briana and I went for a walk thru town.  There's a cycling race called the Volta a Catalunya (http://www.cyclingstage.com/volta-a-catalunya-2017/riders-cat-2017/), there are buses + cyclists everywhere!
We wished we knew who some of these teams or people were lol!
There's a team from the UAE behind us; there are teams from all over the world!
We stepped inside a McD's but didn't order anything. You'll never guess what's on the menu there:  chicken wings + beer!
Typical sidewalk cafe, this one is in a plaza close to downtown Calella!
Time for the dance party; the videos are too large go upload unfortunately...  The moms got a kick out of them :)
The kids really worked hard in their groups to put it together!
The sun is super warm, but the wind has picked up again!
Daniel led the charge as he, Drew, Nolan and Ben bravely ran into the Mediterranean after.  Brr!
Hi Daniel, aren't you happy you joined us this year?  We are!!
Caitniss, Ogradykicktime, Avacado and Jessica looking like they're ready for dinner!

Talk about a fun kick set :)

Happy Birthday Brennan!  (Birthday Swim!)
