We Have a Runner!

This year Raider decided to join the track team at school. He has never done track before but he is quite the brave individual and willing to try anything. His primary event is the 100 meter dash and he's actually having a fun time on the track team - running - can you believe it?? Today was the first track meet at a nearby school so I packed up the kids to go watch "Bubba" run. Unfortunately the track meets often take place in the middle of the day so Micah couldn't make it. We found Raider shortly before his race began and as he lined up Haylie started shouting "Gooooo Bubba." She must have repeated it ten times when Raider turned his head and said "OK Bubba heard you." One of the other runners turned to Raider and said, "Oh are you Bubba?" :) We only made it through one race and then we had to head home for nap time (it felt like 100 degrees out there and both Haylie and James were crying by the time we left), but we had a fun time getting to cheer on Raider at his meet.
