Field Day

Right before Spring Break the older kids all got to participate in Bob Lewis annual field day at school.  Each year the school sells fun shirts inspired by a popular logo.  This year it was the converse shoe logo.  Last year it was the Hard Rock Cafe logo with the words Hard Work instead of Hard Rock.  In years past they have used the Gatorade and Survivor logos.  Each teacher choses a different color for their class to wear.

This year was the first time I got to go and watch the kids participate for a few hours.  Brayden's 2nd grade class competed on Thursday.  I saw him race in the tire roll relay where they got 1st and the scooter relay where they got 2nd.

Kylee was the next day, Friday.  I saw her race the scooter relay where they got 2nd.

Julia is in Pre-K so they did it all by themselves in the afternoon on Friday.  It was more fun than competition.  They got to try some different stations.  They did a scooter race, soccer ball kick, obstacle corse, basketball throw, and a tug of war.

The most important event, and the most controversial, is in the tug of war competition held for each grade level in the afternoon.  For the whole field day, the one thing that really matters is if your class wins the tug of war.  Unfortunately, Kylee's class lost in the first round.  Brayden got in the car and declared, "we lost, but the other class cheated".  Julia's class went up against the PPCD class (daycare for teachers' kids) and won.
