Field Day

Yesterday was Field Day at Ryland's school. I don't know why we ended up with field trip and field day in the same week - but oh well. I had really planned on not being there the entire time, but did stay for most of it instead. First event for the kindergarten was the sack race. Our yellow team got second.

Next was the pumpkin relay. A runner had to run down and grab a ball to bring back to the line for it to be passed over and under to the back of the line. That required way too much attention for 5 and 6 year olds. We managed though.

Then was recess, lunch and concessions. That is when I escaped to the house for a bit. After lunch was the obstacle course. Ryland won first in his round of the race!

Then was the 50 yard dash. We had some pretty fast kids. Each set won tokens for first through seventh. Ryland got 6th for this race.

The final competition was the tug-of-war. Our great yellow team won second - just barely. We gave that purple team a run for their money. :) Our kids did great.

At the end they all got to play on 4 different bounce houses. What a way to end a long hot day. It was lots of fun. I enjoyed being with Ryland and his class. He's got some good kids with him. His teacher is wonderful also.

Each class had a sign with their teacher's name. Each kid got to hold it for a bit.
