Cross Country!

Today Isaac ran in his first meet. It was so incredibly exciting to see him compete! He ran a 5K which is 3.1 miles and the temperature was around 90 degrees! Isaac was 5th for his team and ran it in 21 minutes 36 seconds.  There were 520 high school boys who ran and Isaac was 250th : )  There were 2 girl's races too.  Coach wanted him to try to finish in the top half of the runners ... mission accomplished!

Watching a cross country meet is a workout in itself! We watched the start, then hurried to a different part of the course to cheer for Isaac and his teammates. We managed to see him run by 3 times before his finish.

This is a mile into the race - he gave us a huge grin as he ran by!


 

Sprinting for the finish!

 

I'm a proud mom who just had to share!  Isaac loved running with Tracy and Uncle Paul a few weekends ago

 

Love, Joy

Family-get-together

We all got together this weekend to meet Sara's boyfriend, Tyler, and to celebrate Joy's birthday.  We had lots of fun together.  It was especially exciting to go kayaking together in Lake Michigan from our own home.
