Hubs finished up his boys season just in time to start coaching Maggie's team. We were a little worried about tryouts. We had dealt with a lot of "issues" during the off season in hopes of saving the team. Then a new team came along and stole half of our team (yes, they did steal them). They also took a lot of other players in our age bracket which left us worried there may not be enough to make a team. We were pleasantly surprised. Enough showed up for two teams and we actually picked up some good players. Maggie made the team again and I'm already amped to start playing.
Maggie also tried out for track. At first, she declined. She has labeled herself a soccer player and convinced herself that she shouldn't do any other sports. Well, track to her dad/coach spelled conditioning so she went for it. She's running the 200 m shuttle. She found some inspiration when she saw some press on her cousin in Colorado. He took state in the one- and two-mile races and second in the 4 x 800 relay. She's not ready to try the long distance races yet but after watching him, she just might.
We also had Orchestra Festival where the finale was Firework by Katy Perry. It was pretty cool. I took video of it to show you. Hope you enjoy looking at the back of my child's head because visually that is all I was able to get. Just close your eyes and listen instead.
And since Memorial Day is always cold here (start of summer, my fanny), we did a ton of yard work instead of going camping (and sitting inside the motor home all weekend)! It was nice to get things spruced up but now I can't walk or lift my arms above my head. Go big or go home!
