Field day at the elementary school is one of the most anticipated days at the end of the school year. With Colorado’s crazy spring weather, we never quite know what the weather will be like but fortunately the schools have gotten smart and planned for back up days. This year we had another sunny day of fun on the upper fields. The older kids used to have field day on the lower fields but now they utilize the upper fields for field day. They have really upped their game with the fun little stations the kids can participate in. The kids rotate through stations, relay races, tug-a-war, and the popsicle station. I showed up right at the end of the relay races but was able to watch her during her turn at the different stations. She loved the obstacle running course, the three- legged race with her friends, the tire race, and the bouncy balls. Then their class headed up to the tug-of-war. I loved watching her determination to help her class win. While the kids were waiting for their turn I loved watching her play hand games with her friends. I remember doing those same hand games when I was her age. Some things kids do are just timeless. Of all the things I watched Madeline do, I loved watching her excitement and joy just to be active and with her friends.
