The kids had a meet in Carlinville this evening. This is probably one of my top three favorite courses of all the courses that they run. It’s spectator friendly and there’s just a lot of criss-crossing and overlapping and running around going on. Elianna said she saw the boys 14 different times which I thought was ridiculous but in an ” I have no idea how you did that but that’s hilarious and good for you” kind of way.

I saw them four times. There was a kid named Chaz who flew through the course and beat everyone by another ridiculous amount of space. I asked Ethan if he’d heard of him and he said yeah he was the cross country state champion for 1A last year. A girl from out team got 3rd but when I asked her dad about he said it doesn’t matter how she does, even if she wins, she’s never happy. It’s hard to be young.

After the meet we went back to Grandma’s to have supper. She really loves decorating her new house with fall things. Before supper several of us were playing outside with Zorro. We were throwing a frisbee and he would chase it and run around while a few of the boys chased him. Zorro runs the fastest out of everyone, even Chaz. I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but the skies with the fields look so pretty.
