Field Day

During the last week of school, each grade has their own Field Day.  They head out to the soccer fields on the side of the school and move from one activity to another when the bullhorn sounds.  The sixth graders ran each activity and instructed the kids what to do.  It was fun seeing the older kids take charge of the younger ones in fun and games!

Here is Owen walking in front of the school with his class.  Ok.  Running.  The boy is always running.

He was being silly while listening to instructions before this running relay.

Ready!  

Set!  

Go!

He's so fast.  I think he was the first one over and then first one back.

The next activity was the balloon pop.  Grab a balloon.  Run across the field.  Sit and bounce and jump on your balloon until it pops.  Run back and tag the next person.

This was Owen's favorite activity.  He had to get his feet on top of the balloon to make it pop because his bottom just wasn't cutting it.

Success!

The boy thought he didn't need his shoes anymore.

Todd and I couldn't stay for the whole event.  We both had to get back to work for more conference calls.  I was surprised we even got eye contact from Owen as we were shouting to him we needed to leave.  That boy was so excited about Field Day.  He barely knew we were there.
