Field Day

Field Day was so much fun this year. At least for one child it was! Caroline got a little competitive at the non competitive field day! Actually they were awarded a certain number of points at each station depending on how they did, and it was marked on a card. If Caroline didn't get the full 15 points on each event, she buried her head in my stomach and cried! It was cute at first, but then it got a little ridiculous. Even though I love a little competition, I wanted her to have fun. She kept asking me to count her points over and over again. I guess it paid off because both girls got the top girl in their class for points. Everyone gets a ribbon, but there is another award for top girl and top boy. I had some happy girls at the house that night! For the PE events there were 45 different games to chose from, and they did things like arm wrestling, ball and cup, tennis racket race, soccer dribble, hoop toss, Frisbee target, giant croquet,tire pull, and jump rope. In addition to PE events, each grade/group had a turn on the water slides/bounce houses. It was great after a hot morning of PE events. I was fortunate enough to get to take Caroline and 3 other girls around to their events. Gram and Grandpa even came out and watched Allison during the water slides and Caroline on the PE events. Field Day is different than when I was in Elementary School, but it was fun day and a very well planned event. Enjoy the pictures!
