Field Day

Earlier this month, Connor was so excited to participate in Field Day at his elementary school. This was his first one since Kindergarten because he was sick last year and couldn't attend. We were lucky to have some nice weather, so Kaitlynn and I joined the 2nd graders to find out what Field Day was all about.

The kids were all asked to choose a partner before they began. Of course, Connor and his best buddy at school, Jayden, quickly partnered up. I made sure to get a quick pic before they ran away from me.

In case you're wondering about that photo, Connor seems to be going through a "sprinkler" phase. He is constantly doing the 80s "sprinkler" dance (making the sprinkler motion with his outstretched arm) and seems to think it's quite amusing. I will fondly look back on his 2nd grade year as the time in which Connor brought back the sprinkler. Ha!

Back to Field Day, all of the kids were given a green activity sheet with about 40 Field Day "stations" with various activities that were set up. Everything from rock climbing, to football, to ring toss, you name it. The partners traveled from station to station completing their activities and marking them off of their activity sheet. Lots of fun! Of course, Connor's very favorite station was the popsicle station, no surprise there!

The Skip-It toy station. Remember these from the 90s? Ha!

One final pic of the boys. Connor's expression cracks me up! "Really Mom??"

While Connor was enjoying his Field Day activities, Kaitlynn was happy to enjoy the playground and the beautiful weather.

Now that she can swing herself, she loves it!

Overall, I'd say it was a highly successful Field Day for Connor. He's already looking forward to next year.
