On Wednesday morning we woke up to drizzling rain and dark clouds outside but before I had time to sulk my good friend Jennette called us up and invited us for an early morning play date at the beach. It was a little chilly but it was nothing a little jacket couldn't fix...
On our way home from the beach we stopped by Grandpa Jim's garden and did a little produce shopping...
Charlie was so excited that he just kept on running around the track even after the race was over...
I didn't get any pictures of Emily doing the hurdles because she and her friend Norah accidentally ran with the wrong heat. Emily was an independent girl all evening, finding her preschool buddies and hanging out with them instead of mom and dad. I did get ONE shot of all three of my little runners...
Oh wait, I guess I got two. Charlie was SO MAD that he couldn't keep running...
Next we headed over to the long jump while we waited for the 50 meter dash to begin...
The lines for the shot put and soft ball throw were l...o...n...g so we practiced running for awhile...
I am not sure how much "dashing" was going on during the one and two year old session of the 50 meter dash but even at this pace Charlie won the heat...
Those three year olds knew what to do. These kiddoes were flying...
Jack ran right to me, threw his arms around me and literally knocked me to the ground...
Emily took a more serious approach...
We headed back to the long jump a few more times while the line was short...
Later that evening we picked up Daddy at work and attended our first All Comers Track Meet of the year. We can only make a few meets this year with our vacation schedule so I didn't purchase a season pass this year. I did however sign up Charlie with the two year olds (he thinks he is two so that counts, right?)
Look! Christian is running right next to him with his daddy!
LOVE this one!
Next, it was Jack's turn. He was feeling a little hesitant being my timid child but once he got going there was no stopping him!
I will take six days straight of boring rainy days for just one day like this anytime!
