Field Day

 The boys had Field Day this week.  I had told them that this is one of the best days of the school year in elementary school.  So they had high expectations and I don't think they were disappointed.  Ryan is above cheering his classmate on in the 40 yard dash.
 Ryan on the bouncy ball thing.  He liked to cheat at this one and run more than jump.
 But he was a great cheerleader.
 The K-2 grades had class activities.  Apparently they do the individual competitions starting in 3rd grade.  I always loved the track and field type stuff.  But the boys did a ton of fun stuff, including playing with the giant parachute which is always a fun kindergarten activity.
 Ryan also had fun playing with the lacrosse stick.  This is apparently one of the fastest growing sports in America - I don't see a future in that right now.
 And the most popular activity was Star Wars Tag - which was hilarious with 25 kids playing at once.  Ryan was tagged here and was waiting for a blue teammate to come by and set him free.
 Luke had a blast with his class.  He and his sweet little best friend had a great time turning the hula hoops into props rather than using them for their intended purpose.  Typical Luke stuff - I think they were playing some kind of game involving volcanoes and piranhas.

 Star Wars Tag - Luke was practicing his Darth Mal pose.
 Small glimpse of the class chaos of the activity.
 Field Day was originally scheduled for Monday, but it was rained out.  Wednesday ended up being a beautiful and hot day - lots of water was in order.  Overall it was a great day and a good way to help wrap up a great 1st year of school
