Family Day

Sunday we spent the day at the ballpark. It was a beautiful day in the spring sunshine and the Mariner's kicked butt with a score of 14-6.
I was lucky enough for the kids to cooperate and have their photo taken with the Mariner Moose. That's pretty amazing considering they are all teenagers, and generally "too cool" for mascots.
Derek also had a good day. It was "kids day" at the ballpark and they each received JJ Putz tee-shirts. Derek even got his autographed by JJ himself. Pretty cool!
All-in-all, it was a great family day!

A first place finish and more...

Another afternoon spent in the cold weather on a hard metal bench watching one of the slowest sporting events known to man: Track! You would think that they could run these meets in less than 3 hours, but apparently not. The kids run fast, but the officials don't seem to "officiate" very quickly!

Anyway....

Today was a FABULOUS track meet for Miss Kaitlyn. She had two personal records today; one in the 100 meter sprint and one in long jump. She even came in first in her 100 meter heat. Her form and performance were the best so far this season. Nice job Kaitlyn!

And more good news about little Miss Kaitlyn. Her report card came in the mail yesterday. Kaitlyn once again received 7 perfect A's. What a smart little cookie! She must take after her mother. (Yes, you can all laugh now!).
