Palmer's Decathlon


 Palmer was selected to go to a district decathlon to represent his school.  The P.E. teachers picked two boys and two girls from 4th, 5th and 6th grade.  He was pretty excited about it.  Especially since they were going to be wearing a shirt he and a friend designed for the school fun run.

I had to laugh how seriously he took the whole thing.  He is teacher told me that he and his friend Hudson who was also going would turn down treats because they were in "training."  It was especially funny that Hudson's mom is the one that brought the treats!  Palmer was very serious about it :)
He was pretty nervous when we got to Viewmont High in Bountiful
 
They competed in events like speed stacking, running, push ups, sit ups, basketball dribbling, sit and reach and a few others.  It was pretty impressive.
 We were so proud of our whole school.  There were 17 schools there and they did places 1-5 for each grade.  Our school all placed!  Palmer's team took 5th and they were thrilled!
