An hour at the track

Nathan was very impressed with the Olympics. He really enjoyed the swimming and running. It's too late for swimming lessons this year, but it's never too late to get outside running!

We took him down to the local high school track. Jeremy and I were hoping he'd be able to make 1 lap so that we could clap and cheer.

He did. He made FIVE laps. That little guy just kept going! He took a break after 3 laps to take a drink. After the 4th lap, he took a break to do some long jumping. He finished the 5th lap and said he was done running for two whole days. It was so cute.

Elizabeth did a few meters of running. Then, she liked to sit in the stands and cheer us on. After sitting, she discovered running around bleachers. What fun! (And she drank all my water).

Here are some photos.



On your mark, get set...


Go!!

After run stretching. We were hot and sweaty! This picture doesn't totally show it, but Elizabeth is so good at doing the splits. 2 year olds are so flexible!
