Track 2009

I only had my cell phone to capture pictures. Isobel LOVED running on the track. She has such a joyful run. Arms swinging and legs dancing more than running. She did great and had FUN, which is our purpose for going. She had so much fun "racing" she did not want to do any other events such as long jump or javelin. She ran the 50m hurtles, 50m dash, 100m and the 200m! She earned 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and participant throughout the night. Ian and I were joking that if Evie was in front of her she would have run faster . . . just to keep up with her older brother :) It was so fun to see her have such simple joy.
Here is speed racer in a 50m dash bounding to the finish line. He is not even touching the track! Everett loves to go full speed! I am very proud of him and his character. While waiting with friends at the starting line, a lot of talk goes on about who wants to race who, and who is going to win. E however is just happy to hang out with friends and go full throttle. Despite placement, he is on to the next event and encouraging his friends to move on and join him.
