Running, for fun?!

My kids are athletic. (if you know me at all you know they obviously got this from their father)

We've been trying to slowly expose them to different sports/activities in order to let them discover which one/ones they like best.

In our last home we tried soccer and figure skating (for Grapes).
This new home has had us branch out to track and field as well as T-Ball.

It is amazing to watch these monkeys of mine try new things (even when they are very nervous and Mom has to physically force them amid brilliant temper-tantrums to 'try' it for the first day. *Ahem, Sock with T-Ball and Grapes with Track)

But they both loved it!! Looks like Mom was right. (Gosh, I love when that happens!)
Evidence:

This one below is the long jump. Sock and Grapes participated in long jump, high jump, shot-put, and hurdles, but I learned it is remarkably difficult to photograph track and field events when there are two children competing simultaneously AND you have a 4-year-old who is anxious to run too. PLUS fast moving bodies and trying to use a manual setting camera. It was too much for me. This is the only photo you get.

 Of course Pencil had to try the track out too (once all the big kids were done with it)

I also have some awesome video of Sock's T-Ball adventures, but my phone is not cooperating today. Hopefully I will be able to update this soon.
