cross country


 We've got another runner in the family.
A week or so before school started we went to open house night.  The gym was full of tables with information on what kinds of sports, clubs and activities that you could sign up for.  Most of the sports were for 4&5th graders except cross country.  Drew convinced the girl who would get upset every Friday morning last year because she HATED gym and HATED running to join the cross country team.  Know what?  She loves it.  She has practice Monday and Thursday mornings before school. Molly missed the first couple meets because of her surgery, but it didn't take her long to recover and she's done two races since.  These are pictures from her first meet.

Simon was so funny every time I pulled out the camera he would scrunch his little face up and smile a big toothy grin.  LOVE it.
 Molly's race was a 1/2 mile.  She completed it in 4:14.  She was under a minute from the first girl and about 2 min ahead of the last.  She finished in the middle of the k-2nd girls.  The most exciting part...  She passed people!!!  If you know Molly or have ever seen her participate in things with anyone she isn't completely comfortable with you'll know this was HUGE.
 Gabe decided that next year he'll run too.  I think that was after he saw M's medal.   ;)
 One more of Simon because he cracks me up.
