Track and Field Meet

Our homeschooling group held its track meet today. The weather was cool, but perfect for competing. The boys had a lot of fun, the parents enjoyed watching, and Kylie got into lots of trouble! Kevin and Kade participated in 5 events - high jump, standing jump, running long jump, 100m dash, and ball throw. They have been practicing at our weekly KENA days with the group.

All the kids waiting patiently for ribbons and the announcements of WHO WON!

Kylie is very busy at an event such as this Jonathan tells me.

Well surprise of all surprises, Kade got first place in his age group. (and not a picture was taken of him doing any events - Jonathan was behind the camera this time:() (By the way, he did have 5 in his group!:))

B/c this is apparently what people do . . . I'm assuming he got that info from his dad.

And Kevin came in second and did really well - I must admit the competition was a little stiffer in his group. He had a bit of trouble wrapping his head around the fact that Kade got first, and he only got second, but when assured that he did very well it seemed to help. (He's not used to Kade being "better" at him in sports)

The happy brothers.

This night was also our back to school picnic, and after track, we enjoyed a chili supper together. We are very thankful for this wonderful homeschooling group we are a part of and that God has blessed our children with health and strength so that they can enjoy activities like track and field.
