Autumn Goes All-Sport!!!

Here is Autumn getting ready to compete in the 400m in the Hershey Track. I was so proud of her, a 400 is a marathon for a 3rd grader! But she had been practicing for a month and had a strategy for finishing and she made it! She placed in the middle of this heat and later raced the 50m and won that race!

Here she is exhausted from running on the unusually hot day. Her first words were, "Mom that hurt!"

Here is Autumn getting ready to go to her second day of volleyball camp at BYU. the ages range from 3rd graders to 12th graders. I am so use to thinking of Autumn as grown up and tall for her age that it was a sweet shock to see how little she still is (she was by far the smallest at the camp - granted volleyball players tend to be taller).

She found that she really loves playing volleyball.

Swimming is also going on right now which continues to be her favorite. Don and I have her signed up for a lot of sport camps this summer to expose her to the various sports out there so she can pick what she wants to be involved in. Our criteria for her extra activities is that she finds it fun, that she tries her hardest and that we stick to doing one thing really well - it looks like swimming will be that one thing.
