The Meet

 Anne Marie runs Cross Country in high school. She had a big meet last week, along with several other schools. Phil & I went; it was our first meet ever! Lasted about five hours, as we had to wait for many events to start and end. We met with her parents and sibs there. Here is the pole vault.

And the Long Jump

Of course there was the usual injury.

The youngest, Jazz, took a good photo of her sister with Grandpa. She was so tickled that I let her use my camera.

I liked Dara's sandals.

And I spotted someone wearing these cool Crocs!

What is Jazz doing here with Grandpa?

She had spotted a large beetle on the walking path, and did not want anyone to step on it. So they got it on a leaf and moved it out of the way of the walkers.

Finally we spotted Ann down on the field!

By now, it was getting dark.

Unfortunately, in her last run, her ankle twisted. It was weak from being injured previously.

She looked to be in quite a bit of pain, but is fine now.

Time to cover up the equipment and head home, it had gotten quite chilly.
