More Fall Sports

It was a nasty weather week here in Seattle. So...I was introduced to the true reality of being a fall sport parent.  Yuck to rain and cold weather.  But, yes to kids having fun playing sports.

Libby and Sarah had great meets this week (Sarah missed Tues for choir--so I guess technically she only had one meet.)  Sarah won her 50 free heat, and Libby either won, tied, or was a very close 2nd.  We had our last outdoor swim meet, and it didn't rain too badly.  But I was glad I bought the girls those fancy swim coats, wore my own coat & hat, and glad that Grammy brought an extra towel we could use as a blanket.  We definitely won the swim meet.  
Before meet chant.  Love it.  


Ben's first football game was this week too--it was actually a jamboree.  So he got to play several times.  The first time he got in, apparently there was a chant going for him.  (He says it's because he's so popular, haha.) I sadly wasn't there yet. 




Libby also got asked to homecoming (by Andrew of course.)  She was delighted.  He really is very sweet.


See the tiny guy in the gray pants...that's Ben. 



Libby and Andrew went on two other dates...last Saturday they went to the Puyallup fair.  And Monday they went to the Mariner's game in the pouring rain.  (Andrew is a big fan...so it was a hard week.)
They fed the butterflies at the fair. 



They rode the light rail down from Northgate to the stadium and back.  So grown up!
