Here is my sister Karla's drawing of the women's team celebrating. Can you guess who is who?

Dark clouds only mean one thing --- LOTS of RAIN! The one thing that I had learned when I was at Florida was when the skies turned really dark and almost black —you better find some shelter and fast because there was going to be some serious rain coming down! That is what happened for a couple of days during the USA Nationals. We got to the track on Thursday to practice and check out the rings and the skies were dark—so we headed to the swimming stadium. A few minutes later and a few booms later —it looked like we were in the middle of a hurricane. Everyone from USC was like—we have never seen rain like this! I had to explain—well, welcome to summer time in the Midwest!	Storm Clouds!

What about those bugs? One thing that I have not missed from Florida were the bugs. Sure, we have plenty of bugs in California, but not any that are the size of a planet. We had “love bugs” in Florida, and it seems like Indiana has HUGE moths. Kate and I had to practice after the meet on Friday and all around us were these moths. I told Kate while we were warming up—make sure that your mouth is closed when you are running because you never know what may fly in! One of the things that I learned the hard way at Florida! I guess it is a source of protein…. Yuck! --Karen:)
