This last week we took thte kids to an all comers track meet. The kids were able to try all different events. They did the long jump, 50 and 100 meter races and a javelin type of throw. It was great seeing Jake with such a big smile. He did really well in his races, he is our little runner. He did not like the long jump though. Jenna was a natural at the javelin throw and she improved her long jump with every attemp.
While we were at the track meet George and the kids convinced me to throw the discus. I have not picked one up since I graduated college 13 years ago. I was a little afraid I might hurt someone with it. But it turned out alright and I did a lot better than I thought I would and came in second place, out throwing 3 people who were only about 18 years old. I threw 101 feet with a standing throw.
SWIMMMING
George did a one mile swim race in Lake Washington on Saturday morning and won his age group. I left my camera at home so I did not have any pictures. After George's race we went over to Jenna's last swim meet. Once again she did a great job. She got 1st palce in the backstroke and 2 relays, and 2nd in breaststroke-her favorite race. Next week the kids start soccer-this will be Jake's first time.
