Will's first Field Day was today! He's been pretty excited about it and this morning he pulled on some gym shorts and Buckeyes jersey and put on his tennis shoes and got psyched up for the fun. There were a bunch of events planned, but he was looking most forward to the sack races. Craig took the morning off and went to cheer Will on and take pictures for me. Love that man!
Will's class was behind on most every event and none of it was individual, so every student took turns in long relay-type races and competed as a whole class against the other classes in their grade. Will was the last in line for his class on nearly all the events and so, on several occasions, by the time it was his turn to go, many of the other classes were all completely finished and he wasn't really racing anyone. Craig could tell Will was discouraged by this and didn't really give much effort to the events. Poor guy.
Giving daddy a thumbs up between events/turns.
Mrs. Mullen giving Will some finish line praise/encouragement.
Hurdles!
It was still a very fun day and Will talked happily about it over dinner tonight. I remember really loving field day when I was in elementary school.
