Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Second Track Meet

Another track meet today, and the weather was a LOT better!  It did start to rain just as we were leaving.  But we had some nice sun and a slight breeze for most of it.  Myranda competed in the same events as last time.  I got some good shots of her long jumps.  She had a great time!

Track Meet

Yesterday was Randa's first track meet.  It was at a school about an hour and a half south of us.  We got there just in time for her hurdle race, in the cold wind and rain.  We were well bundled up and were FREEZING... I know she must have been frozen solid.  That's her, third from the left with the white short sleeves under her blue uniform.




She got all embarrassment and worry out of the way when she tripped after the first hurdle.  The rest of the meet went better for her.  Along with the hurdle race, she competed in the high jump, long jump and javelin.  Unfortunately we don't have any pics of those as we actually had to move to the truck before we all died of exposure. 

Overall, her experience was a good one.  On the trip home she was talking about how fun it was, except for the weather.  (Her fall was forgotten).  Her next meet is on Thursday and we are hoping it will be sunny!

Invisible by Myranda Van Guilder

Myranda wrote a song for school and we managed to record it and post it to face book.  It was too big to post here, but I wanted to share it.  If you would like to listen, please follow the link below
