Kaine's 5th Grade Track Meet

This past week Kaine participated in the school districts annual track and field meet. As a 5th grader this was his last year! Sad, where have the years gone?  Grandpa Jerry was in town and got to come help us cheer Kaine on. To tell you the truth I can't remember what places Kaine took in which events, but he had a great time with his friends and made us proud for his effort! Here are some pictures.....

 First things first, waiting and more waiting

 He's up next for the running long jump

Here he comes

 Way to jump Kaine!

 Kaine finding out his measurements, ask him how he did, I am sure he'd love to tell you!

 Watching his best friend Hayden take his turn at the long jump

 Grandpa stealing some kisses

 200 meter dash, I think Kaine took 6th place

 It was real close at the end, he almost passed the kid in the blue!

 More waiting...

 Is it any wonder he didn't want to hang out with us?

 Coming to say hi and tell us all about the race, first yellow ribbon

 Little brother watching big brother

 Popcorn and Twix bars, hmm?

 Hanging out with his brother and sister

 The gang :)

 4x100 meter relay, Kaine did great, he is out front

 The pass off

 Hanging out with the girls, just kidding I like to razz Kaine about the girls just a little :)

 Headed to do his last event, the 100 meter hurdles, check out those ribbons

 Kaine's in the right hand lane

 Wow! Look at him clear those hurdles, way to go Kaine!!

 Kaine and Hayden

 His best cheerleader

Headed home

It's sad for me to think that middle school is coming. Kaine is in his final two weeks of elementary school, what is happening?! I know Kaine is excited and nervous to see what becomes of his middle school years after his orientation this week, he has lots to look forward to. We are anxious too, we know he will do great things if he just puts his mind to it! I am hoping we will get to see him participate again next year in some middle school athletics, maybe even track and field!
