Run, Jump, Throw

The boys had a blast at the second track meet of the season this past Saturday.  Since we had the weekend off from baseball, the track meet fit nicely into the schedule.  Carter's best friend, Colton, is quite the little trackster and "cleaned up" in the running events. Drake and Braden came down to participate and everyone had a great time.  Austin is too old to participate, but was able to join in for a couple events this time around.

Carter got first in the softball throw with a distance of 90 feet 4 inches.

Drake performing in the broad jump.

Braden demonstrating quite the hurdling form!  You'll notice the poor little guy had knocked over the last hurdle.  He went tumbling down, but hopped right back up and finished with a smile on his face!

By far the favorite event of the morning was the parent/child relay.  Thankfully Aaron had just shown up because I was wearing flip flops and can't run to save my life.  The kids were so excited to have the parents participate.  Kasie and Braden came in first in their age division!  Way to go Kasie!  You represented the moms well :) (Next time she'll wear flip flops like me!)

Next up were Tim and Drake, Matt and Colton, and Ace and Carter.  Who knew my brother had such speed?  He was off like a light and left the rest of the field eating his dust!  However, little speedster Colton easily made up time and brought home a first place finish for them.

Aaron left before the awards ceremony unfortunately.  I sent him home to work on my the kitchen painting and making the last layer of seven layer jello for Easter.  I'm sure he will hang his green participation ribbon proudly at work!

Check out this brotherly competition!  It was a pretty close race at the end.  I think Austin edged him by a nose.

We are so thankful the all the opportunities the boys have to participate in within this community!
