There is hope

Yesterday I went to the school to watch the little kids track, play day. I had considered not going, since it really isn't a huge deal, but thought I better go show Jayda some support. Six events later, with 5 blue ribbons, I was glad I went!

She rocked it! I was very surprised, since she's shown zero interest in ANYTHING competitive. I'm always trying to get her to get excited about basketball, or basically any sport and her response is always, "I'm not a sports girl! I just want to go to school!"

In all the videos below, she is wearing yellow shorts and a navy blue tshirt. And, she's the one winning! haha. Yeah winning is FUN.

She got a taste of what winning feels like and I think she liked it! The first event they had a partner and had to hold a rubbber chicken in between their shoulders, run down the field and turn around and come back. (they are on the far left)



Next was the hula hoop race. If she actually was able to hula hoop and run down the field, I'm certain she would have won that one too, but they had to roll the hula hoop down to the end. That one didn't go so well. (she is on far left)

Then they did the sack race. She won it with flying colors.
(she's the one in FRONT!)


And onto the 3 legged race. Her and her partner won as well.

The 40 meter dash, she won!

Look at her go!

They also did a long jump, but I haven't heard the results on that one yet, if my calculations were right, she's got it in the bag!. And they ran out of time to do the sotball throw, so they were supposd to do that today. And I'm aware that winning isn't every thing and all that blah blah blah, but coming from an athletic family, and having a love of sports, I just really wanted my girls inherit some of that!
