field day

Today was field day. It was a gorgeous morning to spend outside.

By 5th grade most of these kids have participated in 4 previous field days.

It is a well organized event.

Sometimes I wish there was a little bit more chaos.

There are times I can't tell if anyone is having fun.

The fun seems to be in the stands.

The games are what they put up with so they can spend the morning hanging outside?

There were games

Carly was on her class's tug-of-war team

and she participated in the ball throw.

There were ribbons.

Carly won first in ball throw

and her tug-of-war team won second.

But mostly there were friends.

and more friends and lots more friends!
