Jared had a track meet this morning and since Larry wasn't working we decided to go to it. It was past Smith Field so it was going to be a day long deal. Jared was excited and anxious. Today he was running a relay race and was the third receiver. His race was way late in the day. We had been there for hours. The first runner out was fast but had a terrible pass. He practically stopped before passing the baton. I'm not sure if it's because the second runner didn't start running or what but I do know it was terrible and put the second runner way behind the other teams. Jared missed his pass....he took off and was out of the passing lane before he got the baton. Larry and I felt so bad for him and we talked about learning from the experience. Now he will know exactly what arrow to step back from and what arrows to stay between. I made sure Jared knew that his pass wasn't the only bad one...it just wasn't a good day for the entire team! The fourth receiver was the only one that didn't mess up. haha It was fun watching the other events and Larry and I enjoyed ourselves.
Jared enjoys being involved in track. He is a fast runner and for the most part only has to worry about improving himself. He likes doing the long jump too. He competes in different events at different meets but he enjoys it all.
Before going home, Larry went to help Kevin with the playground that Santa brought the girls. Julie's brothers and Braxton were there helping when we got there. Jaydan came before we left. It was a big project and we couldn't stay long because we had a reception we needed to go to. Larry was still a big help....they all were. Julie text me a picture later that night and it was almost done! If the little ones only knew all that parents go through to make their life enjoyable and fun.
