Harps Playing Softball

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mom, Dad and I went to watch Spanky play softball in Provo and then ate at Los Hermanos. I volunteered to take pictures of a 5k in a couple of weeks and figured this was good practice for taking action shots.

Now here's a whole lot of Spanky -

swinging - check out those arms!

Spanky's First 5k

Yesterday my friend texted and asked if I wanted to run a midnight 5k. I said yes and posted it on facebook. Spanky asked about it, and ended up coming along.

Spanky before the race.

my camera flash wasn't working at this point because my battery was so low, but you can see the glow sticks on his wrists. they gave them to every runner.

Spanky after the race.

pictured: Kelsey (Jo's daughter), Jo (Annikki's co-worker who went down to Bryce with Annikki and me for the half about a month ago), Annikki (neighbor, I think most if not all of you have met her by now), me, Emily (friend of mine from high school), Spanks

Spanks ran it in about 24:30 - 8th in his age group! I came in 12 minutes later - 36th in my age group... He told me later that he was glad he saw my facebook status about it. So I think he had fun. I had fun. I've wanted to do a midnight run for a while.

Good times.

and way to go Spanks!

The Intramural Champ

The action shots:

The champs have to win two out of three games against the other team. The other team had already won one game before they met up last night, so they started one game down. After winning one game, they ran with the momentum. During the 7th inning, they got 10 runs ahead (with a score of 16 to 6). With a 10 run gap they call the game, making Spanky's team the championship team.

Good game! . . . But Eden and I were looking for Riley Nelson, yeah, BYU's Quarterback was on the other team (as was a BYU high jumper, and who knows what other collegiate athletes). We couldn't find his yellow shirt.

And then I did.

Sorry for the fuzzy photo. He was "too busy" changing his shoes to congratulate the other team. Seems like Nelson needs to get over himself. He played a good game (even hitting a home run), but suddenly he isn't so impressive.

The Turtles - what a team! I should have grabbed my external flash - what was I thinking. ? Oops.

Maybe a little good luck? . . . but I still question why one of BYU's intramural championship t-shirts is RED.

And collecting the coveted shirt. It was late, I'd been asleep the last two nights by the time the second game was over, so I had to excuse myself and make the 40 minute drive home. Sorry for the 2nd fuzzy photo.

Way to go Harper!!!
