A Morning at the Track…

On Saturday morning we took the boys to the Hillsboro Elks Kids track & field day. 

It was at a local stadium and our kids had a blast!!!

They participated in the long jump, the softball toss, the 50, 100, 200, 400 & 800 meter runs. Micah won quite a few in his age group (he’s SO tall for his age he had a little bit of an advantage) and Caleb ran his little heart out and got 2nd or 3rd on his races. We totaled up that he ran sprinted over a mile that morning.  It was  SO much fun. I would totally recommend doing this with your kids. It was great to see them loving the competition but also cheering for others to win too. Caleb was SO thrilled for Micah when he won his races which was really fun to see.  There was another family from Caleb’s school there so Caleb ran against his friend on most races.  Super exciting for our kids to have such a fun morning out. They were SO tired by the time we got home. Caleb couldn’t even finish his lunch. He went up to his bed and was asleep before we finished eating. :)

Note to self: Apparently if you run your kids at a track all morning they sleep all afternoon!
