Sports

 Last week Micah started middle school track at our local middle school.  There were 2 kids who are home schooled and the other 100+ were from the school.  We were so proud of Micah for just going out there and giving it his best.  It is for kids 6th-8th grade.  The 6th graders are not allowed to compete due to WA state rules.  The coaches are having them try all the events to see where they fit best.  Micah enjoyed the discus and he flew over the hurdles!  It's those long legs.  He is racing that boy in the red shirt.  And don't worry, I did not embarrasses him by taking pictures...I have a super zoom lens and I took them from the parking lot!  He practices 5 days a week for 2 hours!  He sure slept good every night!

 But Micah is not the only one who tried a new sport this week!  Darrick was invited to play Bike Polo!  He borrowed a bike and went out there and gave it his best.  The rules state that you cannot put your feet down on the ground but the other players gave him grace since it was his first time!  He ended up falling off his bike 5 times but he just got back on!  He was sore the next morning!  They played for 2 hours on an enclosed tennis court.  He thinks he will do it again!
