Track and Field Day

What a fun day today for the kids. They had their annual track and field day at school. Jeff and I were their to route them on (Curt couldn't get off work) and Dad was great to watch the little ones for me. It was a big help because there would have been a lot of running from one event to the other. So thank you Dad for babysitting.



The boys started with individual running events and I think Jordan got 3rd for the 75 yd. dash and Zach got 2nd for the 50 yd. dash. Great job guys. Then there was a relay event that they were in with their class and then we moved on to the field events. This is where it was a lot of fun to watch. Both Jordan and Zach got to do the softball throw, long jump, potato sack race, three legged race and then an obstacle course. There were no winners or losers at these events, just a lot of fun for the kids. The three legged race was the best to watch. Zach and Tyler couldn't stay up and Jordan a Lucas eventually just hopped on their free legs to get to the end.



It is hard to believe this is Jordan's last year for the elementary track and field. We move on to jr. high here in 5th grade. He will have a track and field day at the jr high, but it is still a milestone for us. I just never want my kids to grow up as fast as they are.



All in all it was a great day and I am very proud of both Zach and Jordan, they did their best and tried their hardest and most of all had fun!!!
