Ready, Set, Track........(oops - Go!).....

Running shorts. Running shoes. Cleats. Times two! Wendy decided to join the junior high track team this year. She was rather nervous at first - wondering just what she was getting herself in to. Then the dilemma - should she do hurdles, should she do one of the relays, should she just do something individual? She settled on hurdles and a relay. Then came the hilarious stories of how she nearly tripped over the hurdles! Too bad we couldn't be there to witness that!

Ryan also decided to participate in track in elementary school. He had track practice a couple of times a week after school. I believe that he had more stories to tell about track practice than what Wendy did! Interesting, since his wasn't nearly as intense as his sister's (oh, I shouldn't say that). Ryan had a huge track meet with kids from all the elementary schools in the area. Quite the event! His events were the long jump and also a relay.

Both kids had a great time participating in track. I'm sure it was just another ploy to see how busy they could keep us! We are always looking for more things to do to occupy our time. If the kids run out of things, does anybody else have some suggestions on how we can keep busy?!

This last photo, I had to post - it's so typical Wendy! And no, this wasn't at the end of one of her events, nor was it at the end of the track meet. This was before the meet even began......

Good job both of you! You both did a great job!
