Track and Field Spectator Pics

Jaden was real good and REAL ACTIVE during those 3 hours on the bleachers. He hardly sat down the entire time but played and played and played. Josh read his library book just about the entire time. He read and read and read. We three adults sat and sat and sat so I didn't make any pics of us. HA!! Belle came over to see us before her race and Jaden was so glad to see her. He loves his Belle-Belle. It was a fun time for the family.

Jarrett and Isabella in Track and Field Meet

1Corinthians 9:24 ¶ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Hebrews 12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,



It was a fun time watching Isabella and then Jarrett run their races in yesterday's track and field meet. Several schools participated in the meet and it was a LONG afternoon. Brian, Jaden, and I "raced" to get there for the 3:00 start. Amy and Josh came about 20 minutes after us. It ended up that it didn't matter one little bit that Amy was 20 minutes late for the start of the meet because the races that Jarrett and Isabella participated in didn't start until nearly 6:00 p.m. I did enjoy the "quality" time I spent with Brian, Amy, Josh, and Jaden for those 3 hours on that hard bleacher seat. The day was sunny but mild in temp with a pretty stiff breeze. By the end of the meet, I was downright chilly, but I know that beat being hot and steamy by a long shot! When it was FINALLY time for Jarrett and Belle to run their races, I forgot all about those 3 hours of sitting on that hard bench. Those few minutes of watching my GRANDkids run their races were sooooooooooo exciting. Brian made awesome pics of them in action. Amy made great video of their entire races with their camcorder. I made my "snippets" with my digital camera which I am uploading as I speak. I pray that Jarrett and Belle will run their Christian race in this life as well as they ran their 800 meter races yesterday.
