Snee Farm has pulled up again! 21 years in a row! We won by about 200 pts. The CCAA Championships have cruised by smoothly to bring an end to our Snee Farm dynasty.

I have been so lucky to be a part of Snee Farm and have a great swimming career. I want to let all my friends at the Farm how special they are to me. I love you guys so much and have a great year! :)

News Update!

Hey!
Well, Snee Farm is winding down... for now. We have three dual meets left, one of which is tonight, and then we have to turn in the championship meet heat sheet. Then, only a few of the selected swimmers will swim in late July and represent our team well as always. :)
We certainly have some big news for you! In late July, we are moving to Costa Rica for a year! Jack and I are enrolled in a school, and we are all very excited. So is Sammy! He luckily gets to come along! :) Check for pictures of our wacky adventures there too!!!

I have to get ready for the meet tonight! I am swimming Freestyle exhibition and Butterfly for points. Jack is swimming Freestyle, Butterfly, Backstroke, and Free Relay! Whoo! Go Jack! :)

I'll upload pics of all the meets when I have more time!

Lots of love,

PASS testing is coming....and SUMMER!

Hey Everybody!
Well, another quarter of the PASS testing has come once again! Jack and I took the writing section in early March, and we will take Math, Science, History, and ELA in May. Wish us luck! :)
So, with the PASS testing brings another season of Snee Farm swim team! We are so thrilled to be a part of the Snee Farm family another season. Keep looking for updates with that.
This weekend we are taking care of my 3rd grade teacher's Great Dane. His name is Cooper and a total sweetheart. I will take a picture of him and post it; I'm sure you will be amazed! He is huge! He is like a horse!
Dad will be coming home soon! We are all very excited. He saw a Orca or Killer Whale a few days ago. He was very lucky to see one in the wild. Actually, I am not surprised, with him being on the ocean so much, he has probably seen a lot of things! I will see if I can get the picture from him; it was truly amazing!
The Stancil clan just wanted to give you an update. Sorry we haven't been on the blogs that much! We have been very busy!

Boston!!

Hey there!

We just got back from Boston! It was great! Very cold, but wonderful! It snowed on the last night we were there for about 3 hours, but then it turned into rain. :( We had our fun though!

We went to Harvard, the Harvard Natural History Museum, the Old South Meeting House, Frog Pond, and (of course!) Mike's Pastries! We didn't want to pack everything in too much, so we tried to keep everything to a minimal.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Hayley

Birds of Prey

Hi Guys! A few days ago, we went to the Birds of Prey in Awendaw. It was really neat! We saw several different species of owls, eagles, falcons, and vultures.
We also saw a flying exhibit. They flew a Indian Tawny Eagle, which was really cool to see. She was really large, and very shy. Eventually, she came close to us, and started " yelling" for us to give her food. She became really comfortable then! We had a really fun time, and it was really interesting to see all the different kinds of birds!

Hey guys!

Hey! I don't know why the pics from Costa Rica didn't show up...I guess my computer whacked out or something!

SORRY!!!!!!
