I remember being in elementary school and being so excited when field day arrived. We had a parade through the school with our "banner". I think I always did the three legged race with Lauren but I don't remember what other events I entered. Getting a ribbon is the best!
So, I was super excited when Sam's field day arrived. He and his class had tie-dyed orange t-shirts. They were so cute. Sam, being a 1st grade boy, could not exactly remember what he had signed up for. So, when each event came up, we would wait for his name to be called.
He entered the hula hoop competition, hurdles and the relay.
He started in on the hula hoop and Ryan said "I sure hope he does not get first place in the hula hoop". Well, no worries because he got 4th place out of about 8 boys! He did great!
Next up, the hurdles. The kid has about a foot on every other boy out there, piece of cake. He starts, he runs, he jumps, he runs and jumps again, then......stops! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? RUN!!!!! Poor thing did not realize that you had to still run to the finish line and ended up going from 1st place to 4th. Poor baby. My little long legged gazelle.
Last comes the relay race. He has this in the bag. He is the lead runner in the relay and his buddy Logan is bringing up the last leg. They came in first place!!! The other kids never had a chance with those fast boys.
Tug - O- War was the last event between the three classes. It was so much fun. The kids had so much fun and it brought back so many memories that are now way, way, way back there in my mind.
Ben and Hayes actually get to have a field day in pre-k which is coming up this week so I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, here are a few of my main man Sam!!!
