Friday was quite the banner day for the Barker girls.
Greer was given an award at her school for being kind and compassionate.
They had a school assembly to honor the kids.
Of course, Reese was very proud of her big sister...
As was Kean.
He was loudly cheering on Greer in his own cute way.
Then the whole family headed over to one of the local high school gyms for the District Speed Jump Rope Competition.
Holland was one of the reps for her school's 4th grade forward speed jump.
She went up against the top two girls from 15 different schools.
Notice in the picture above, there are five judges counting (they have clickers)
how many jumps she makes in 1 minute.
(Awards Ceremony)
Holland did great. She made it through all three rounds, to the finals.
She placed in the top ten (only the top six got awards).
But she was fine with her performance and raring to go again next year in the
5th graders competition.
It was fun to see her so focused and so exhausted by the end of the night.
By the way, the competition took a mere 3 hours and 22 minutes.
Not that I was watching the clock.

Wow. 3 hours. That is some competition. But that is so cool she does that though! Gosh, I can't remember when the last time I jumped rope. And I don't think I could get very many jumps in 1 minute either--maybe that's why I don't jump anymore. Okay, I'm done rambling. :)
What fun girls ... Greer so sweet and Holland with the eye-of-the-tiger! Just heard about Greer's tonsils ... hope she's ok!
