At the BMX Track

Friday night June & Mason spent the night, and we headed to Rock Hill to watch Adam race. Charlie decided to go to the high school football game instead of racing himself. Adam did great. He had to race up with the 13-year-olds, and he still came in second in both motos and the main. I managed to get this action shot – that’s him in the red.

June took my camera and was playing with it, and got this picture of Adam cutting up with his dad after the races were over. Fun evening.

Cross Country Region Meet

Wednesday afternoon we were in Rock Hill to watch Charlie compete in the Region 5A 2 Championship Meet. He ran JV, and came in 10th, I think it was, tying his season PR this year. We were so proud and excited. Here is an action photo, and one I got of him afterwards.

Upper State Golf Tournament

Just now getting pictures downloaded from this past week. Last Monday was the Upper State tourney for Mallory, and she didn’t score well enough to move on to the state. We were so proud of how well she played all year, and that day was no different. She didn’t play badly at all – just not quite her best. And as always, one of my favorite things about watching her play was watching her interact with the golfers from the other schools. She plays with many of these girls numerous times over the course of the season, and over the years, so that’s fun for them. Here they are doing a little bit of catching up while they’re waiting their turn to tee off on one of the holes.

And checking their scores after the match. Such a great, fun season.

Morning Nap

Almost every night, Jeff gets up about 2 AM, fixes himself a pot of coffee, and after about 2 hours falls back asleep on the couch, where I find him when I wake up. He does not, however, usually have his face buried in a pillow. That made me chuckle this week when I saw it.

County Cross Country Meet

Yesterday was the all county meet at Northwestern High School in Rock Hill. Charlie wasn’t real happy that he had to run varsity, since he knew he’d finish near the bottom of the pack, and he did, but his time tied his best of the season, so he was happy about that – and we were proud. Here is an action shot and one of him afterwards, before we ran him home. Andrew had to go straight to pick Adam up at a boy scout campout.

Friday Pix

Friday my friend Pam had to take her momma to have some eye surgery, AND was supposed to babysit her six-year-old grandson Jack. So we invited Jack over to spend the day with us, instead of him having to sit in a dr’s office for who knows how long. AND Mason came over to hang out. Mason’s best friend Branson happens to be Jack’s cousin, so they’ve hung out before at B’s house. They had a good time playing in the basement with all of the Halloween paraphernalia.

I thought Mason came up with a great idea for a Halloween costume. Alas, he couldn’t see, so that was one drawback. Still cute, though.

Cross Country

Wednesday evening we were back at Rock Hill High to watch Charlie in action on the cross country course. He ran really well, beating his PR for the season, & he was very happy about that – so we were, too.

Watching NLDS

Only a couple of the games have been shown live here, since we only have antenna TV. Luckily Jeff found a Youtube channel for me where they play the radio broadcase, while showing this graphic the entire time. Better than nothing, for sure 🙂

Saturday Pix

I was in Columbia today to watch Clara and her Clover 08 Elite teammates in action. They didn’t win, but played hard and left it all on the field. Here is the only action shot I got all day.

On the way home, my phone took me back roads all the way, which I really enjoyed – until the torrential downpours started.  I stopped & checked out a couple of Historical Markers along the way.  I was glad to see this about Colonel Bratton, since Brattonsville is a restored historical site here in York County, and I only hear about him as it relates to that.  So that was pretty cool for me.
