Wow, we both improved this weekend and had SO MUCH FUN! Finn came in second in the amateur finals with a new personal best of 18'11"!!!!!! I just about burst with pride when he made that last jump, I knew it was a good one! We got a $75 check, a cap from Cabela's (a hunting/sports/outdoors outfitters retail store) and a gold medal in the shape of a star. I am not going to be online much longer tonight, but I wanted to share our great news! It was so fun, Finn just amazes me. I still can't get him to elevate, though. He just goes straight out! It's all speed and leg strength right now. Once I work on my throwing and timing, I think I'll be able to get him to keep his eyes on the ball and actually lift his head and body to try to catch it. David's not the best photographer, so we just chose to videotape. I will post at least the best jump tomorrow. Thanks for the support, you guys!!!
