Eliot had his first track meet today. It has been a slow start as he was working through some injuries, but he is feeling better and on the move.
This evening was the annual Valley High School cross country banquet for Mari (junior) and Elliot (sophomore).
It was the conference cross country meet for Mari and Elliot this afternoon, their last meet of the season. They both had good seasons and I already can’t wait for next year.
Rose is playing 8U soccer this year with West Des Moines Soccer. I am her team’s coach. Susan took a few pictures at practice tonight.
This afternoon we went to Knoxville for a Cross Country meet for Mari and Elliot. It was finally nice, cool weather and running around the golf course in Knoxville was beautiful, but I hear it was hilly.
Today was the home meet for Valley Cross Country. It is a tough course and always seems to be a hot day.
Today was Andrew’s soccer banquet. It was a simple affair, with pizza, fruit, and dessert in the parking lot after their final practice.
