Longview – Track and More

Made a trip to the Smith side of the BS Family for a weekend of play, work, more play, including swimming and birthday cake!Lanna’s birthday theme was “In the Kitchen!” What fun it was for the kids, decorating aprons, cakes and then a hunt in the yard for kitchen items. Who knew spatulas grew on trees?

The weather was not hot enough to swim the whole weekend but when the sun finally came out and the pool was ready, in they went! Almost a whole day in the pool. What a good life.

Maggie & JoNanny and Gpa bought this neat blow up Habitat Maze for the pool.

Lanna & JoColorful and fun!

While visiting, the twins each lost a tooth, the same day. Jo lost hers while eating blueberry buckle cake in the morning. Her words: “I took a bite and then I bit some thing hard, I pulled out my tooth, it had a blueberry on it. I ate that again”Cole bumped his teeth in the pool and it hurt so he got out of the pool and pulled the tooth to eliminate this issue from happening again.

TRACK
Our second track meet was again fun. A little better planning on our part, Oma brought a chair, we packed a dinner and lots to drink.

Long Jump, Softball Throw for all of them. Jo also did the 60m and then the twins did the 200m as well. Jo has a nice stride to her run, not fast but smooth and consistent. Cole ran hard and fast taking third place at the finish line.


Our Athletes
Derian placed 7th in her long jump, her form and understanding was so much better this week. Impressive! She threw 53’ in the softball throw which earned her a 3rd place ribbon!Cole threw around 53’ and Jo around 30’.
Smiles all around and very tired little people when we got home!
(working on Oma to participate in the adult All Comers Meet on Thursdays so we can see her throw)

THE LAKE!
We made our first splash at the lake again! Full day of water skiing with only one boat from 11am – 4pm on the lake…and that boat would be the boat we were using!

More photos of the knee boarding and water skiing at a later time. We used another camera for those shots.

Just know…We played ALL DAY in the water while you were at work! ;O)
