June 26th~ The Olympic Track & Field Trials were in Eugene again, and this time around I was excited to take the boys down to Hayward Field to really experience it! (Four years ago we were in the middle of building our house and life was pretty overwhelming, so we only made it to Hayward for a quick peek.) Becca and I rode the shuttle with our kids from Autzen to Hayward so that they could participate in the All-Comers Meet! (Tate stayed home with a babysitter.) It was so much fun! I loved that the kids got to run on such a famous track! It really sparked an interest in track for the kids--I'm so glad that they got to participate and that they all had fun doing it!
