Today was Riley's track meet for all middle schools here in Loveland. I have never really been a spectator of track and field events. I remember having a field day in elementary school and trying out the 5o yard dash, but it was hopeless for me. I stuck with the jump rope. I kind of like track meets though. Something is always going on. There is the relay, the shot put, and high jump all going on at the same time. Riley's talent is the high jump. It all came down to him and another boy---whose name was Riley too! They were up against each other last week when just their two schools had a meet and this other boy won by a hair. Well, I guess this time it was Riley's turn. He cleared the 4 foot 4 and the other boy missed it. He is so proud that he won against all of the middle schools. He also ran the 200 yard sprint and came in second. (Last week he was first). I guess those skinny legs come in handy! I think it is cool to see one of my kids do so well at something I stunk at!!

Cool!!! Congrats to Riley for winning!!I love the pic- that's a lotta hair flying around, hee! Ben did track last year. I just remember how cold the meets were- and his events weren't until the last so we had to wait until the end.Glad you enjoyed it. Do you remember winning the 3 legged races with me at our grade school field days? We were unbeatable!
