School Cross Country Meet

Today was the last day before the kids are off for their February break next week and the annual school cross country meet was this afternoon. We are lucky enough to live close to the school so I was able to watch most of it without leaving my own yard! I saw the boys start the race while standing in our driveway and watch part of the race from the backyard before going into the center of the village to see them finish the race. This year, I placed bottles of water at the end of the driveway in front of our house for those who wanted something to drink. It was the younger boys that looked like they needed the water the most.The course is just under 2 miles long. Christopher had to run the course once while Andrew had to run it twice.
**to answer Diana's question...NO, Andrew is not in dress shoes :-} His running shoes are just covered with MUD***
