2 weeks ago Christopher went to the St. Mary's Spring relays. It is for 3rd-6th graders from the local private schools, which included CHS, Longview Christian, East Texas Christian, Trinity, St. Mary's and Full Armor from Henderson. The day was beautiful which was great since we were outside all day. I think Christian Heritage came in 3rd place overall, we had some very stiff competition! Christopher was entered in all but one event. Here he is (4th from the left)preparing to run the 50 yard dash. He placed 3rd in this race, 3rd in the softball throw, 3rd in the long jump and 4th in the jump rope relay. We are very proud of his ribbons and look forward to next years competition...maybe we'll start training now!!
Here he is coming into the home stretch...
Will is his best friend at school!
Here he is at the start of the jump rope relay. His team mate gave him a good lead, he came in first on his leg of the relay but the next teammate didn't do so well pushing them down a bit.
Catherine had a blast all day with Christopher's classmates. She was in heaven with all of the attention from the big girls. She and her friend on the left collected caterpillars together, they are the same age so it was fun to have someone her own age to play with.
