Native Youth Olympics

Apparently Mckay may be part native.  

Mckay was invited by his school to participate in the Anchorage Native Youth Olympics (open to all school kids, native and non-native).  He competed in the two foot high kick.  It involves jumping off of two feet and kicking a ball suspended from a string keeping the feet together then landing on two feet under control.  Mckay was the highest 3-4 grade boy two foot kicker.  He kicked and landed a 46 inch high ball.  It was a fun competition and we are proud of Mckay (even if the 4th grade girls kicked higher).

Here are some pictures and a video of the event.






Stake Dance

Yes Kameron is old enough to go to Stake Dances.  Scarry!

Here are some pictures of him with some of his friends at the dance (just friend pictures, not date pictures).
