Elementary School Fitness Meet

So remember when I went to the kids' school and took pictures of them doing their fitness testing at school. Well, Micah did well enough in "broad jump" and "sit and reach" to make the school team. This was great for Micah. He enjoyed going to practices everyday after school and being part of the team.
The Fitness Meet was all the way in Hawaii Kai at Kaiser High School. For those of you who aren't familiar with the lay of the land here, that's an 1 1/2 hr drive for us. This morning I made sure Micah had his lunch and he made it to the bus by 7:15am. Next, I got the kids out the door in time for school. Randy and I finished getting ourselves ready and headed out the door. The flyer we had said the event was to start at 10am. We walked through the door at 10am, only to find out that the organizers decided to start at 9:45am and so we missed it because the 3rd graders were first up. (big sigh).
That's okay. I think Micah still appreciated that we drove all that way to see him.

P.S. (4/19/12) WE FINALLY RECEIVED WORD THAT MICAH HAD PLACED 3RD FOR THE BROAD JUMP. CONGRATULATIONS MICAH!!

It was a rainy and cloudy day. We didn't get many pictures because of the rain. I snapped these of Jace while we were hanging out outside watching the races.
When I had enough of getting wet and chasing around a baby, we headed home. We grabbed Micah and had lunch at his favorite spot --- McDonald's. It was a fun day with Micah. We have yet to hear if he placed or not. We'll keep you posted.
