5K from Afar

-
Today our fellowship in Indianapolis is doing the 3rd Annual 5k.  We wanted to participate from over here!!  The boys were excited to go with us!

Before the start of the big race!  All smiles:)

The runners are off to a great start.  Until they reach the road, then they had to stop!

We quickly ran into some obstacles, sheep poop!  That never happened in Indianapolis as I remember.

We did spy this black flower on the course!

The hill outside our house is painful, but the view is worth it!

The runners needed a break halfway through!

And another type of break too:)

There was little complaining and the boys did great, too!  Cookies and juice awaiting all participants at the end of the course!

After completing the walk in over an hour, we set out to see how far we went.  We were disappointed that it was only 3.3K.  Oh well, maybe next year!

Have a great time Northside!

Hi Jolliffs! What great effort for your 3.3K! Quite different scenery, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing the pics.
Elizabeth, I think of you often, but especially today. I thought of you in your new home and that sweet little kitchen, as I did laundry and prepared meals in my own kitchen. No goat, but pork chops for dinner :) How was the goat spaghetti?
Love and prayers to you all...

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
