It was 80 degrees today, folks. If not hotter. I am chillin in my shorts and t-shirt.
So we figured, why not head back to the track and have more fun with our freakin expensive camera? Josh came with us this time and this is where I revealed to him my long-held secret: I was the Standing Long Jump champion at my Elementary school. Yes, it's true. It's one of many useless splinter skills I have: spelling, standing long jump, school psychology. I don't know why I couldn't have been blessed with a talent for something useful, like cooking, or reading maps - or a nice, normal team sport. I can "cure" a 3rd grader with selective mutism but I can't make spaghetti turn out and I get lost in my bedroom.
Anyway.
We had a friendly little competition to see who could jump the farthest.
Here's Josh's attempts.
And mine.He jumped farther than me, but I kid you not, by literally only 1/2 inch.

Last summer, Nate did the high jump and 1500m at the Utah Summer Games. As the kids and I were chillin' around your Alma Mater, waiting for Nate's heat to start, we watched a ton of kids do the long jump. My three-year-old has been obsessed ever since. He jumps over stuff all day, pretending it is a sand pit. I think it is a fabulous skill, along with healing your kids with emotional disturbances :) Oh and spelling. I am sure to have multiple errors just in this one paragraph comment.
