This year the kids joined a cross country club through the Boys and Girls club and they meet after school 2 days a week. Brian and I thought running for an hour after school would mean the kids would be nicely worn out and ready for bed. Somehow it seems like they have even more energy on cross country days! In addition to the practices, there have been 3 meets and they are such cool events. All of the neighborhood elementaries join (I think there are 5 or 6) and they split the grades into 3 heats (its K-6th grade who are eligible to join). With the help of a lot of volunteers the kids run all around the town and end on a track in a local park. They run 1.3 miles and it is the cutest thing ever to see kids of all ages finishing this distance.
Unfortunately the meets are at the same time as Cameron's hockey so he hasn't been able to go, but Addy made it to all 3 as did a bunch of her friends and it was a lot of fun to watch. Luckily it didn't rain for any of them and the kids really had a good time.
