Julia's Mock Trial

Julia is the lead attorney for the plaintiff on her school's Mock Trial team, and they have been preparing for court since September. They finally had their trials on Wednesday and Thursday. Here's Julia squinting in the sun in her court clothes:

For some reason, there is a post in the middle of this courtroom. I never even saw the judge from where I was sitting. So the students had to edge their way around the post every time they left their chairs...

Here's Julia in action, during her Closing Statement:

Julia's team did very well in the competition - I believe they came in 3rd place in their District (out of 15-20 teams).

Annika's first soccer goal

Annika made her first soccer goal in last week's game! The teams were evenly matched, and her goal ended up being her team's only goal for the game.

It's fairly dark in the gym where they have soccer games, and we are behind a safety net, so it's difficult to take photos. But we'll keep trying to get a good action shot!
