Why?
It's not exactly farm blog material...except for the fact that it involves the farm kids!
Ever since mid August, our schedules have been (or at least had been until lately) pretty much dominated by the cross country season.
Eric has been running ever since 7th grade...
...and this year, Jenna joined the cross country team as well...
They both had great seasons! They had a great coach, and made some good friends as well. Both qualified to run in the League and District races. Eric placed 20th in the League Championship meet, and was selected by the League's coaches to be a "Second Team All Star", which is an honor!
At the Cross Country Honors Banquet, there were also five seniors who received Scholar Athlete Awards. Coach is in the middle in this picture, and Eric on the far right...
Now that the season is over, life has relaxed a little for both kids, and for us too. We enjoyed going to the meets when we could, but unfortunately, they were usually close to milking time. We also have our evening barn helpers back, which is great! (for us, but maybe not so much for them!) :)
We're proud of them both! What a great way to stay in shape and make good friends at the same time!
