Hadassah was excited yesterday to compete in the Iron Bridge Track and Field! She did the 4X100 Relay, 4X200 Relay and Long Jump!!! Long Jump was her favorite of all and she did well with jumping 12 feet 1 inches being her farthest! She finished in fourth place!!!
Ashlyn, Matthew and I met Hadassah at the track met when Matthew got home from school. Ashlyn loved to tag along with Hadassah when she could.
Lining up for the relay races ...
Our relay team!
Here's where us parents sat and cheered while the kids competed. It was a decent weather day with clouds hovering above.
All out for the relay race!!!
#44 - just like her daddy!!! And proud of it!!!
Little Miss enjoyed watching the events!
I seem to always get teared up at least once throughout any of these competes. Not because it's sad, no, but when we all start cheering and hollering it always reminds me of how it is running the race of life!!! What if we would cheer for each other with loud voices and really mean it!?!?! Some people get so close to finishing their race in life and then give up. Maybe all they need is a smile from me today or a small bouquet of flowers to just let them know they are loved?! Cheering for Hadassah as she ran and jumped was exciting and a privilege. Some kids would love to be as healthy as her and compete. And have a fun day on the tracks. And feel good. Even have a few sore muscles from all the running the next day! We are blessed and I do not take this blessing lightly! I love that our children can participate in days like today!!!
We came home hungry and tired. It was 7:30 before we got to any supper dishes. I think the rush of sports and spring has begun!
