Field Day was originally scheduled for last week. As required, I sent the girls to school wearing green, lathered up with sunscreen, and ready to play. Horror of horrors, it was cancelled at the last possible minute (the children were lined up in the hallway waiting to go outside) due to rainy weather and slippery conditions. I'm thinking the delay was probably worse for the teachers than the kids, but it was very disappointing for the kids. Fortunately this morning it was sunny and beautiful for a day of very serious and competitive games, such as

And, the highlight of Caroline's Field Day -- rolling Eartha around.

Lucy actually enjoyed field day today. She said it was the first time ever that she had fun at field day...and I am left wondering what the magical combination for fun was today. Yay for summer!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that! Abby and Caroline had a blast too. I thought the day was well organized with lots of silly events and nice pacing. Once change I noticed from previous years was that they mixed up all the grades for the games. Each group had about 13-15 people, 2 or 3 from each grade. I thought that was really neat that the 'big' kids were playing and cheering for the 'little' kids.
