sporty day

Friday, September 2, 2011 may have been the most humid day I've ever had in a classroom.  Even the floors were sweating, literally.  So when today rolled around I was glad that the cross country meet was at 9:00 this morning and not this afternoon!  It was still humid, but it didn't reach 90 until after the kids ran.  Even so, I was, to quote Audrey, "moist and uncomfortable" just walking the course.  But we had a great race.  Jacob ran 16:02 for his first meet ever and I've so proud of him.

Then we left Garfield Park and drove to Lyndhurst for Patrick's 1:00 soccer game.  By this time it was over 90 ~ but I was already sweated through, so it really didn't matter.  We sat in the stands in the sun on the blanket and some were under umbrellas.  It was just hot.  They even stopped the game twice for water breaks. Soccer boys are tough and they played on.  Patrick (#18) was unofficially named the defensive player of the game by a parent in the stands.  He was always there running the guy to the outside.  He played a great game, too bad they lost 3-0.
