Sporty Saturday

Huge day here today. I was with Ben and Gary was with Alek, so I have more pictures of Ben ... Ben competed in the Raleigh Rampage at TRC today. He had an awesome climbing day, and came in 5th in the Youth D category. His scores from last weekend's comp were posted on the USAC website, and he's ranked 20th in his category after last week's comp. Fantastic, since he's only been bouldering for 6 weeks!

Here are some pics from today. Coach Jason helping the team (Ben, Caley, Amanda, Cameron) evaluate the routes before the comp starts.

I didn't get pictures of the climbs today, but above are Alek, Ben, Caley and little Jason, watching the finals at the end of other comp. The team is really supportive and encouraging of each other, and Ben has made some really good friends on the team.

Aren't they CUTE???

Ben came in 5th in the comp. Alek made a TOUCHDOWN today at his football game, and got the Sportsmanship Award of the game award. Unfortunately, his team lost this week, but he had a super game!

It's now 8 pm, I'm exhausted, and they are both still bouncing around the playroom playing with their stuffed animals. WOW.
