Field Day Hero









On Friday, Blanco Vista held its first annual Field Day for all the students. Although it was non-competitive, and therefore did not give out awards or ribbons, the kids still had a great time. Aidan's class started with the obstacle course (which I ended up getting exactly ZERO pictures of, by the way! Ugh!), then on to the sack-race, then Razor scooter races, then tug-of-war, then 50-yard dash, then lunch, then sandwich race, then hula-hoops, then finally the sponge race. Whew!

The funniest part was the ultra-protective mama-bird that laid two little speckled eggs right in the middle of the 50-yard dash course. We had to improvise because of the folding chair placed over that "nest" in the middle of the schoolyard. That poor bird spent most of Thursday and Friday chasing kids away from the vicinity of her brood.

Regardless of no scores being kept, I can honestly say that Aidan's class "won" nearly every single event. Nobody could even come close to beating us at tug-of-war! So proud of those kiddos!

What a fun day!
