Haircuts and Bruises

Mary joined a middle school program called "That Dance Thing" (TDT). 40 kids meet for dinner at a nice restaurant and then receive dancing instruction for an hour. Parents chaperone at least one evening, and unlike her father who bemoaned going, she loved it. One and done, we've chaperoned our night and Dan couldn't be happier.

Maeser received a bad haircut but is unwilling to see a real barber to get it repaired. We all cringe when he walks by.

Our primary program is in two weeks. As motivation we told our kids we'd take them to Black Tap (the new shake house in town) if they could memorise their parts before we got there. Duly motivated, they are well prepared and equally fattened. Maeser's choice: Cotton Candy, Abe's: Sour Power, Mary: Cookies n'Cream.

I played in my first volleyball game in 17 years... honestly. Evidence of the game is still visible. I'm hoping to have healed up by Friday so I can play again.

Dan swam 3.5 KM on Saturday. (The same distance he swims in an IM, probably the first time he's raced this distance independently.)

Mary ran in her second XC meet of the year. Her first race with a continuous pace.
