Caddying for Amy

Jack was Amy's caddie for the day today for her tournament. 

 

AR Jr. PGA Lost Springs

All the girls played in the AR Jr. PGA tournament at Lost Springs. Elizabeth played well (45,39) and finished first with an 84. She finished well considering she started double, bogey, double, double, bogey...Kate played better and finished with a 97. Anna played for the first time in a few weeks and finished with a 94.

 

Fartleks

The girls did a fartlek for a work out this week before we left for Indiana. They did it on the trail.

Region 16 Qualifier--Track and Field, Carl Junction, MO

Anna was not ready to run yet because of her leg. It is getting better, but she does not have the confidence yet to attempt to run. Kate and Elizabeth ran in four events over three days and qualified to the Jr. Olympic Nationals in all four events. The temps were over 100* and there was so much competition in their age group. Kate and Elizabeth both did the triple jump Friday evening. Kate jumped 29' and Elizabeth had a PR of 28'. They finished 2nd and 3rd. Kate ran the 800 (2:37.0). I had to leave to take Jack to the airport, but she ran great. She passed about four girls in the last 100m to finished 6th and take the last qualifying spot. Saturday morning, Elizabeth and Kate ran the 3000m and finished 4th and 5th (12:20.03 and 12:25.47). It was already so hot, and they were about 15-20 seconds from their PR at the State meet a few weeks ago. We went home for a few hours because it was so hot, then we went back with Marie and the other Wakefields to watch the girls run the 4x800 relay. There were only two teams, so they didn't run their fastest. We had an alternate run for all, Payton from school. They finished and qualified to Nationals. They didn't run until 10pm and we had to drive home! We had to drive back early the next morning for Elizabeth to run the 1500m. She had a nice last 300m and came from the pack of three girls running in 5,6,7th and ended up passing the girl in 4th place too, so she finished 4th. We didn't know her time until the next morning and it was a big PR of 5:24.47. 

 

Jack's Flight

Jack took off tonight on a flight to Chicago so he could play in a golf tournament in Indiana with Nicholas and Amy. He will stay there until we travel there next week and hang out with cousins. 

 

The Lightyear Movie and Playing Games

The girls went to see a movie with Emma. Then they got ice cream. Jack played in a basketball tournament at Bentonville West on the JV team. He started both games. They won one and lost one. We have been having fun playing games this summer.

 

Jack's First Drive

Jack had his first solo drive today when he drove to basketball. He brought the girls shushes on the way home.

 

AR Jr. PGA Bella Vista

Jack, Kate and Elizabeth played in the first AR jr. PGA tournament of the summer. Anna sat it out because her foot was still huritng. Elizabeth did okay, she tied for first with a 95, and Kate couldn't figure out her drive and hit it out of bounds multiple times. She finished second. Jack finished second with a 81.

 

Happy Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day. John took the kids to the golf course and we enjoyed cookies after brunch at Buttered Biscuit.

 

Jack's Basketball Camp

Jack hosted a basketball camp for the younger students at St. Vincent. He had a few kids show up and I think they had a good time.

The girls got shaved ice with Emma
