XC

I learn new things every single day as a mom.  I was never much into sports but my kids did not get my klutzy gene so thankfully they do a lot better than I did at every sport that they try.  This year since Savannah is in Middle School, she gets to try some sports that are new.  XC -stands for Cross Country- that is the new thing I learned.   XC  is one of the new sports that Savannah is trying.  She joined the XC team and so far she is loving it.  They have been running every day after school for about a month and last Thursday they had their first meet.  It was down in Springville, and we only had an hour to get from school, home to change and grab a snack and then down to Springville which is about 40-45 min away.  It was a crazy day.  Fortunately we got there just in time for some warm-up and then off went the boys.  It was a 2 mile course and we cheered on our friend Colton.  He did great for the first meet.  Our school ELA came in 2nd for the boys.

It was then the girls turn.  Savannah, Lacey and Madi stuck together and they did Awesome.  Our school came in 3rd for the girls.  The next meet is on Tuesday and we will do even better since we know what to expect now.  Go Early Light Academy. We want to come in 1st this time.
