Field Day

We held a field day for about 170 kids on Saturday. Unbelievably, we made it through without any injuries. Heather, Zach and I may have done some damage to our vocal cords, but that would be the extent of it. There was a 5k race, field events (composed of sack race, wheelbarrow race, and 3 legged race), sprints, relays and a soccer tournament. The kids were additionally arranged on teams to compete against one another, with prizes given to the winners.

It has been raining by the pound here lately, so it was a pretty muddy 5k course. Nevertheless the winning boy came through in 18:24, and the winning girl in 21:05. The sack race, though, was the crowd favorite. I find it hysterical when people eat it, and I don't seem to care if they are kids or not.

As usual, we took a ton of pictures. Also as usual, we had a computer crash that ate about 600 pictures. Fortunately, we were able to download a program that recovered about half the pics. Here are a few.
