Track Star vs. Ballerina

The end of the school year always includes the final activities, one of them being Track Day or Field Day. I have always tried to attend them and this year was no different. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and was not too hot for this pregnant mom to sit in the bleachers. Unfortunately, Taylor's class was about 2/3 up the bleachers, so once I arrived at my seat, I did not plan to leave. Those stairs are steep and crowded!

Taylor competed in Softball throw (6th), Hurdles (3rd), 100 meter dash (4th), and 400 meter relay (4th). I was late and missed the throw, but caught a great picture of the hurdles (she is on the inside track, near the field):

All the classes competed against each other in a Tug of War, and that was very interesting to see the teachers out there coaching. or were they cheering or yelling??? Who knows. Either was, it was fun to watch.

Taylor was on the 45 yard line pulling her hardest.

Another signal to the end of the school year is recital, after recital, after recital. Ballet is no different. Her parent's program was the same week and we were able to see what these beautiful little ladies had learned throughout the year. Bar work always comes first.

Then they get to dance and have fun.

I am so thankful that God has blessed us with a lovely, talented, and diverse daughter who enjoys a variety of activities. We hope she will continue to grow up and become a young lady who does everything for the glory of God.

All the pictures are fun, but my favorite is the one of her in mid-jump! Perfect! :-)
