Cross Country






Erik has decided to run cross country this year instead of playing football. I don't blame him for not wanting to play football, but I will never understand why people like to run great distances. Good for him! I am definitely a convert, however. There is something special about cross teams and how they interact with each other and support each other. We had a bon fire the other night and the kids had a terrific time just being teenagers - and they were polite! We will plan an end-of-the-year bon fire later this month if we can find a date that works.
Erik is growing slowly as a runner. As soon as he figures out how to use his body once he has it conditioned he will become a great runner, I think. He needs a little of his sister's killer instinct and a lot of his brother's determination. Right now he is just having fun, which is also worth something.
Erik is also in the band and had a great time parking cars at cousin Nick's wedding this fall.
