The Race

Every Monday night during the summer a local high school has a little track meet for all ages.  We went for the first time and signed Cadynce up for the 50 yard dash and the long jump.  I wasn't sure how she would do because she likes to be first in everything.  We talked about it the whole drive over, and she was so concerned that the "big boys with long legs" were going to beat her.  We told her she would only run against kids her age and all she had to do was run as fast as she could and do her best.  Cadynce had an absolute blast and wanted to race again right after she finished.  She won third place and was given a ribbon (that ribbon almost slept in her bed last night, but we made her hang it on her drawer).  She did great in her first long jump attempt.  Each kid got three attempts so while she waited for her next turn Don had her practicing in the grass on how to jump off one foot and land on two.  Don was in heaven!  Click here for videos.
