Alex's Field Day

Field Day is a sure sign that school is almost over. Perhaps it's just nostalgia, but I seem to remember my field day being more traditional and a heck of a lot more competitive. Ribbons! Winners! Loosers! Alex's field day retains the spirit of being outside in a field, but in a much more inclusive, alternative way.

The "Picking Marbles Up with Your Toes in Soapy Water" event (no grand winner for most marbles found):



The "Run Water from Bucket to Bucket" relay (no team winners):



And the, "Roll Giant Ball into 5th Graders inside of Gym Mats to Knock Them Over" (no winners, but the clear satisfaction of creaming a kid 4 years older):



I didn't come back for the afternoon session, which I heard had events like tug-a-rope. Long live Field Day!
