Frisbee. Hot day, not the cleanest play between the heat, sweat, and breeze. My team won 5-4.

First day of cross country. Looks like 46 or so kids on the team this year. That's a lot of middle schoolers. Should be fun.

it was a very hot, muggy frisbee game. 6v6, my team fortunately had a sub. I think it really helped us by the end, plus the other team started making stupid mistakes. We won 5-1, almost a shut out.

frisbee. we started off 4v4 but then ended up 5v4, the other team gave my team the extra. We took advantage of it and won 5-3. Then we did 3v3, i switched team, and my new team won 2-1.

First XC meet of the year for my team tomorrow. Most our meets are middle-school only, small races. This one is high school and the single biggest race in the state- between 6 races tomorrow, there are almost 4000 runners. My team has about 25 running in the two JV races. Should be fun. I also really enjoy seeing my old runners who are now on high school teams.

My wife got home after 9 days in Utah/Idaho dropping off my oldest at BYU and attending a wedding. It was stressful being a single parent of 4 kids with TONS of activities.
