Labor Day Weekend with L and O

Melissa and Scott had signed up for a 1/2 marathon in Portland, Oregon and meet up with her college roomate. Due to Covid they met them in Grand Junction, CO over Labor Day Weekend and did a virtual 1/2 and enjoyed the time together there. So....we got to care for Landon and Owen. Saturday Landon had a cross country meet in Bettendorf and as always, we enjoyed watching him. Monday we rented a boat, packed a picnic and enjoyed the sunny day at the Reservior.

Bring on the Fall Sports!

Hooray! Fall sports begins. Landon ran varsity cross country as a 9th grader this morning at Prairie. He finished 8th on his team so may keep his varsity status. He had a PR and felt good about his run. Owen had two soccer matches this afternoon and won both 3-1 and 8-0. Owen scored 7 of today's goals for his team. Landon played soccer this afternoon and his team did not fair so well. Oh well. The weather was perfect (80 instead of the 90s we've been having) and it felt so good to cheer them on. LANDON GOT TO BE AN ALTERNATE FOR STATE! WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE AS A FRESHMAN!
