pumped up kicks



From Collages
Mama just couldn't commit this year to swim team's 5 days a week, early morning practices.
So this past summa' vacay, we did track instead.

That's right, we traded in swim caps and goggles for...

 pumped up kicks.

The kids looked forward to those Thursday evening meets. We spent hours out there in the smoldering heat picnicking, playing, and cheering fast feet across finish lines.

 Id like to think it was the opportunity of quality time with their parents my little sprinters enjoyed so much, but this mama AINT' NO FOOL.

It had something to do with earning shiny ribbons, and everything to do with the promise of a cool, sweet treat from DQ afterwards......

 that kept their little motors movin'!
