Cross Country

Tink was convinced by her best friend's sister to run cross country.  She was hard to convince, but decided to go ahead and do it.  She had fun because her friend was there with her. They have gotten to know each other better and that is good.  I think she benefited from being on a school team as well. It develops school pride and a sense of belonging that I just don't think you can get from anything else.  (Growing up in a small town where sports is pretty much everything, I guess certain things will always stick with me.)  She improved her time at every meet and we were very proud of her.

 I absolutely love this picture of her brothers giving her a congratulatory hug.
