Saturday morning, Alex got to try out his new track shoes at an indoor track meet at Manley Fieldhouse at S.U. Hopefully the first of many meets there.
It was an interesting meet. It was an "
All-Comers" meet with the Syracuse Chargers Track Club. Meaning all ages. From 3 to 93. It was fun to watch all the different groups compete.
(Maybe some day I'll even get the nerve to participate!)
That blur in the middle is Alex doing the Long Jump. He also did the 55meter. He wished he had also done the 400 meter, but maybe next time. He hasn't been in full "training", so I think he wanted to take it easy.
After the meet, we went up to Gary & Paula's house for a be-lated birthday celebration for Paula. Jenny got to go too... here she's stealing treats from the dining room table...
(Bad dog!)
Paula made a fabulous pork dinner.
And we sang happy birthday to her. Kelly helped blow out the candles on her "birthday pie".
Laura and I posed for a photo together. She's looking so grown up!
And Paula and I polished off a bottle (or two) of wine... while we had fun on Facebook.
I should have taken a photo of Paula's trash can that she got for Christmas. It has a sensor that opens the top when you wave your hand over it. Or if you walk by it closely... we discovered that my rear-end could open the trash can when I walked past it. And we got quite a good laugh over that! We had a terrific time. Thanks for the great dinner and Happy Birthday, Paula!
