February 1 – Aerogarden update

Had to move the light up 2 notches today, the basil grew so fast.

These were started on December 29th. Check out the growth at 8 days.

January 31 – Air Force Track Meet

Eight jumps and nearly ten hours later, the Martin Luther King Invitational Track Meet finally ended.

Cole placed 17th in the long jump and 9th in the Triple Jump. Not too shabby for a 14 yr-old competing against 18yr-olds.

A little one, but a jet nonetheless.

I love these 2-gate airports.

In kindergarten. These boys had measured the length of the rug in unit cubes and immediately one started breaking the long stick into groups of ten.

January 24 – Indoor track

Cole is on an indoor track club. Today’s meet was held at the Balch Fieldhouse at CU-Boulder, which is attached to their football stadium.

They were running a 60 meter race while I was watching the long jump. We had to put up barriers on either side of the runway as people will not look and walk into a  jumper on their approach. Some of these athletes are 17 years old. It can be ugly. Volunteers also put up a barrier to stop the shot put from rolling into the jumping pit.
