During the spring, Kate had her first ballet recital; she was really excited about this. Anna continued to dance with the ballet, too, and Jack continued to play soccer. Dad seems to only get good action pictures during throw-ins. Thankfully, Jack is very good at those. Jack got to compete in the Cub Scout council-level Pinewood Derby; his car won one heat, but his combined time was not quite good enough to get to the finals. We all took a trip to South Dakota to visit Great-grandpa Bill and Great-grandma Sally. At the end of June, Anna and Jack ran with Mom in the Hyde Park Blast. This was their first-ever 4-mile race. Kate did the kids' race, and we've got a video of that. She was looking for her cheering section, and once she saw us, she took off...
