Field Day!

Today was Field Day for grades 1-5 at our Elementary School. Since Kindergarten had field day on Friday and there was no blow up slide, they get to come out and slide on the slide provided by PTO and also participate in the Annual Class Tug of War Competition! It was a great day!

Anneli's Kindergarten Class playing Tug-o-War. For the first time in forever, Mrs. Hoopers class actually won! Way to go guys!!!

Christopher's class playing Tug-o-War...I was there too! I was caught helping kids off the slide, with my own camera!! :)

Anneli waiting patiently with her friends for their turn to slide down the big bouncy slide!

Some random field day activities...

Even Memere was there helping her Kindergarten friends!

Field Day always means summer vacation is just around the corner...

It's Fun Day!!!

Today was 'Fun Day' at our local park. The kids look forward to Fun Day every year! 'Fun Day' is a day that is sponsored by our Recreation Department with super fun crafts, face painting, rub-on tatoos, cheap snacks, balloons, raffles, a magic show and pony rides! It's a simple little fair, but a lot of fun for the kids. They like the fact that the crafts are run by the camp counselors and lifeguards in town. Since Anneli went to day camp for two sessions and Christopher and Anneli both took swimming lessons through the recreation department, they pretty much know almost everyone there! This year Meme joined us for the FUN DAY! :)

Field Day FUN!!

Since I've been helping in Kindergarten this year, Anneli and I went and participated in Kindergartens Field Day last Monday. Anneli was a big girl and jumped in with Mrs. Hooper's Pink group while I went around and took pictures for yearbook and for an end of the year slide show. It was a great day!Friday was Field Day for the rest of the school. As usual, I was there taking pictures for the Yearbook! :) It was another great day for Christopher and all his friends!

Fun Day!!

Last Friday (August 14th) was 'Fun Day' at our local park. The kids look forward to Fun Day every year!

A Whirlwind Saturday!

On Saturday morning we woke up bright and early for swimming lessons! I signed the kids up for 9am swimming in the spring so we wouldn't have any soccer or other activity conflicts. Plus, isn't it nice to get up early and then have the rest of the day to do whatever!?

Right after swimming, wet hair and cold, we raced to the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Brunch! The Brunch was great, the friendship was swell and the ceremony was...well, boring if you ask Chris! I thought it was very nice! I look forward to Christopher getting more involved in Scouting as he gets older. What a great organization!

I love my guys in their scout uniforms!



After Cub Scouts, we got caught up with Meme & Pepe and headed off to the open house for a little airport in town. The town wants to buy this airport so they opened it up the the public so we could check it out before the vote next week. We support it and think it would be a great investment for our town. Anyways, the kids had a blast at the airport! They were able to sit in the cockpits of two of the airplanes and had a little lesson on how to fly it! Super fun!

Look, I was there too!! :)

What a fun day! After looking at these pictures, I can see that Christopher wasn't looking too good. We thought he was just tired after two very busy days! You just never know with kids!
