The boys took place in a cool little cross country meet put on yesterday at the school. I think it was an apptempt at getting more people interested in the sport. They had a nice showing of people and the boys had a great time.

Kale just before the finish line.

Dade is still going, just before the finish line.

"How much more?" says Nash.

Cousin Ryan too.

Colleen has more pictures on the “real” camera – but here are some I took as they finished with my phone. The weather was gorgeous and it was fun for everyone.
