Well, Its official, summer is over! It was a busy one for us...but we had lots of fun! Our summer consisted of a Half Marathon, trips to Hershey Park, PA, Pentwater, MI, two trips to Massachusetts, a trip to Dewey Beach, Delaware, and a trip to Vegas. The older girls are back in school and its back to the grind.....Hope everyone had a wonderful summer - here is how we closed it out ...
So I am pretty sure that I mentioned how "excited" we were that the girls were going to be playing on the same travel team because Jasmine was going to be playing "up" with Renee's age group...well, that all came crashing down on us right before the season started...the team folded! UGH...so crushing - but, good things came out of it - Renee is now playing up on the U19 team which is a great experience for her and Jasmine is back with her team she has played with for years...she could not be happier!
First tournament of the season with a new team - Renee's team takes first and she played almost every minute of every game!
Renee slides to keep the ball in play...Jeanine caught this great shot!
Jasmine's team also had success - they took second place in their age group!
Renee is also running Cross Country for her high school! She is doing great! Her times keep getting better!
Jake and I at the Arlington Police, Fire and Sheriff 9-11 Memorial 5k. Jake ran a personal best finishing in 212 out of 4212 and I cut 6 minutes off my time from last year. We both did great!!
Jake, Me, Melanie and Stephanie (my wonderful girls I run with...they are awesome)
In the middle of August, we took a weekend trip to MA to visit
the family see Adrianna for her 1st Birthday.
