Track Meet

2018-05-20

This week's entry is all about the track and field day I did on Friday. I did the softball throw, the soccer kick, the 50 meter dash, and the 400 meter relay. GG, Grandpa Al, Grandma Wynne, Auntie Kara, Auntie Diane, and Freya all came to watch. Mom and Dad were there, too. It was much nicer than last year, which was cold and gray and windy. I took third place in both of my races and I got a medal for throwing and kicking. It was a lot of fun!

Before we get to the pictures, I also want to mention that I got a trophy last week for reading 100 books this spring! I will try to get a picture of it for next time.

And now the track meet...
