Kyler's Big Weekend

Kyler, my oldest son, had a big weekend in sports. On Friday, he had his "Race for Education" event at his elementary school. Last year as a first grader he completed 19 laps, or 4 3/4 miles, which earned him a spot in the "4 mile" club. We knew he could improve, so we established a pacing strategy and stuck to it well. In the end, he completed 22 laps, or 5 and 1/2 miles. He is now in the "5 mile" club. Guess we need to look for a few 5ks to enter.

Today was his team's - the Raptors - final soccer game. They prevailed 8-0 to conclude an undefeated, untied regular season. Next weekend is their end-of-the-season tournament, which they have a good chance of winning. In honor of the Raptor's season, I present this for your viewing pleasure:

Congratulations to Kyler in making it into the "5 mile" club and completing an undefeated and untied soccer season. What big accomplishments! It's easy to see he takes after his dad :)

Funny video. It reminds me of all the skateboarders that will find any horizontal and vertical surface to ride on. I loved the movie "Lords of Dogtown" and the whole suburbia/swimming pool/skateboarding theme.

Congrats to Kyler, he seems to be ready for a 5 k - or more! Fun video, quite the sharpshooter. Pretty risky to target police stations, military (air force) etc. - I guess it is the thrill of the (reverse) chase...
