Field Day

Remember the 3 legged race or the potato sack race? The orange drink that will always remind you of that day if you taste or even smell it. I'm pretty sure that's not legal to give kids anymore.

Lucas had his first field day today. It's a little different at King's. First of all 6th graders are in charge of running it while being overseen by the PE teacher Mr. Berg. They were awesome. Kept it all under control and very encouraging to all the kids. I was quite impressed with them all. They split the girls and boys up for competition which is great idea. But they didn't have the 3 legged race or potato sack race. Bummer.

Lucas was awesome though. He's a fast little kid. He came in 2nd in both his races (the 50 and 400 meter). Yes, he ran the whole way around the track. I'm pretty sure he was 2nd in the baseball toss too but they don't give out ribbons so I'm not sure. Well, they give out participation ribbons but I got him a 2nd place medal anyway.
