Carly's Spring Life

Carly competed in her junior high track meet and placed in discus, long jump and triple jump.

Then she got to divisionals, and she placed in discus. She also ran the hurtles and made it to zones because only 3 girls competed, and the top two get to go to zones.

Well, I decided not to go to zones since she was only in one event, and I had already taken the day off work for her first two track meets. So I asked Cari Pilling to video her hurtle run (then she actually had her sister-in-law Marina video), but Carly hit a hurtle and went down hard and got a really good scrape on her hip. But she got up and finished the race. That says a lot about her. Not a hurtle champion (as she probably only practiced once or twice), but she has grit.

Then she played a little spring league basketball.

She competed in her grade 8 triathalon. Lots of girls do a relay, and only do one of the three events. But not if your dad is Austin Nunn. You do all 3 events - swimming, archery and running. Carly came in third out of 3 that did the solo triathalon, but she did it and finished!

For her year-end awards as she finished her junior high career, she was on the honor roll, got nominated for the Cougar Scholarship, and won Female Athlete of the Year.

 

Carly at Junior High Rodeo Provincials

Carly had a great junior high spring rodeo season.

She qualified for provincials in pole bending, goat tying and breakaway roping. Austin, Carly and I went to Rimbey, Alberta for the junior provincial finals.

She was the regular season winner for goat tying for District 1.

For goat tying, her first run was 10.1 and 6th place.

Her second run was 10.8 and 14th place - not great.

3rd round - fell on her way to the goat 11.7

Breakaway:

1st Round - missed

2nd round - 2.9 tied 1st

3rd Round - missed

Pole Bending:

1st Round - knocked a pole

2nd Round - didn't place

Hanna and Lucy came on Sunday as supporters - what great sisters:)

 

60th Birthday Party for BFFS

Dixie Bevans and Shauna Smith both turned 60 this spring, so we had to celebrate!

We went to Dixie's sister's cabin near Rocky Mountain House. After Dixie remembered where the secret key was hidden, we had such a fun weekend. We ate, we laughed, we played cards, we went kayaking, we sat in the hot tub, we went on walks, we went out to dinner.

On our way home, we shared with each other what we thought each other's "gifts from the Creator" are.

Lucky to have great friends.

 

Spring Rodeo Season

I don't always take very many pictures at high school rodeos - mostly just videos of the girls' rodeo runs. But we had a good spring rodeo season - Carly in junior high and Lucy in high school. Win some, lose some. Lots of miles. Lots of memories.
