B's Field Trip to Olympia

Before BJ's last day of school on Wednesday, they had a field trip to visit the state capital in Olympia. When I picked B up from school I discovered he took one of the digital cameras and got some great pics of the state capital. Well done B, maybe you'll be a photographer yet!

I'm pretty sure he had a great time as that was all he was talking about for the whole ride home. Those of you familiar with B, well you know why that's a big deal. He's not one to give alot of details or have an in depth conversation on his day. Anyways, he had a great time and here are some pics to prove it!

Where did the Spring go?

For us, 3 seasons a year we're entrenched in sports. The traditional fall soccer season, followed by ( and with no break in between) the winter basketball season and for the last two years both spring soccer & basketball.

While BJ loves basketball & soccer, I think we may have chewed off a bit more than we can handle this year. Not only was BJ doing YMCA Basketball & soccer, but school track and AAU basketball through Emerald City Basketball Academy. Yah, too much & I don't think we'll be doing that again. Oh & did I forget to mention the crazy end of the school year testing they've been doing?

B kinda hit a wall & was a little wiped out so he took a week off from sports just to collect himself and enjoy some much needed downtime. This weekend he had his final spring soccer game and his 2nd to last basketball game. It was good to see him out there enjoying it all again. Only three more days left of school & then it's just the AAU basketball team & training for the summer!

Here are some pics from the day:

Look at that, he can pass too

Jr. Olympics

Yesterday B had the chance to participate in the Jr. Olympics for his school. He was in the Triple Jump and on the Relay team. He finished 3rd in the triple jump and I'm not 100% sure where his relay team ended up.

As you can see in the two pics below, he wasn't quite sure which foot to take off on for the final jump. He still did a great job, good job B!

His relay team had a little more trouble, on the first hand-off the baton got dropped so they had a little catching up to do. Even with the dropped baton, they were right in there in the mix of all the teams. Next year boys!
