Prior family scrap book
While visiting for the triathlon, Jack got to have a sleepover at the Cheshire Prior’s house (photo gallery).
Ava and Rebecca put on a Gymnastics demonstration (youtube):

We had cake for Papa:
Photos from Easter 2012 in Woodbury are posted. Great fun and a surprise near quorum (click here for photo)! I only got 54 keepers even though Ava points out “Uncle Jack, why do you always have a camera?”. They came out pretty good — below are just some highlights.
I can recrop for prints.
Wonderful holiday week in Woodbury and Newton (Woodbury Photos, Newton Photos).
I like to embed a few photos in the post for posterity but can’t pick my favorites right away. Let me know yours!
My favorite is the video:
Here are the Woodbury Photos:

In a tune up for Friday’s Division 1 State Championship meet, Kayla joined some teammates to compete for the Waltham Track Club at the Needham Youth Classic (photos). She jumped 16’3″ for a personal best and 2nd place behind Carla Forbes. She also placed 4th in the 55m hurdles (10.37) and 5th in the 55m dash (8.02). Per the meet program she broke the meet long jump record (along with Carla) from 2008, but there is one 16’9″ jump listed for the meet back in 2005 it overlooks so she settles for #3 on the all-time list :-).
Kayla took most of the good photos of the weekend. I was too distracted by the nieces and nephew! Here is a direct link to the gallery.

Kayla drove 300mi transporting the Newton pets down to Woodbury for their summer camp. Kay barked at the horses and chased the geese. Papa is busy replacing his edible barn.

The MPS U13 Knights opened their summer USL Super-Y league season (standings) against an outstanding Ottawa Fury team, going down 0-7. Most of Ottawa’s goals were scored by Richard Parker, who has a touching life story. The Knights next game is against their sister club, the MPS BullDogs, on June 15th (schedule).

In the afternoon Jared had a BAYS game against Westwood. They were up 4-2 in 1st half with Jared contributing 1 goal and 2 assists before the game was called for lightning.

“Sophomore Kayla Prior had a great match for North, finishing first in the 50-yard free (28.01 seconds), taking third in the 100 free with a personal-best 1:03.50, and swimming in the 200 free relay team that won in 1:56.27 – about five seconds ahead of Dedham’s best effort.”
The 50 free win was her first individual win. Video shows a ~27.8 PR. 5 tenths to go to state sectional qualifying time. If you watch the video you’ll note she also had to beat a boy. Dedham doesn’t have a boys team so several fast boys swim on the girls team.
Kayla also anchored the “B” medley relay team to a 2nd place over Newton’s A team. Her 100fr time was a PR (~1:03.3 by video) and would hit the varsity letter standard for a 2nd event (only need 1 for letter). All together she contributed to 21 points (9 individual, 12 relay) of Newton’s 93 points.
There were 3 grandparents in attendance! Newton’s final two dual meets are this Friday and next Tuesday.
