Field Day

Another field day has come and gone. This year Alexis's class named themselves "The Fearless Tigers". They had bright orange shirts and tiger print bandannas. It was so much fun to go and see Alexis interact with her classmates and see her having such a fun time. The theme for field day, was "Survivor" just like last year. They had some fun unique events. The first one was in a little kiddie pool. They had to pick up as many marbles with their feet as they could. I love this picture of Alexis. She had so much fun. You can see it on her face =)

A new event this year was the limbo. Everyone in her class thought Alexis was going to win for sure since she is the shortest, but poor little thing, she bumped her head on the first round! She was such a good sport though.
Here's the event where they had to see who could stand on a can the longest. Every few minutes they would tell the kids to stand on one leg. Last year Alexis fell off right away, so she was determined to make it longer this time. She lasted a few more seconds this year =)The favorite event of the day was the three legged race. Alexis raced with her friend Kelsie. (They kind of have a love hate relationship. Today they were the best of friends lol) Brandon gave them some tips before it started, and it payed off. They won second!

Afterwards they let the kids race with their parents. Brandon and Alexis had fun doing it. Brandon didn't get to come last year, so he was so glad he could make it this year. He got really into all of the events and ended up making friends with some of the other dads. (he has always been much more social then I am!)

The kids thought it would be fun to see how many people they could get hooked together. It was pretty humorous watching them all.
Here are Alexis and Kelsie again.
Here is Alexis and her other good friend, Kira. It was a fun, (tiring) day. They weather was perfect. It was really warm, but breezy at the same time. I am glad that we were able to survive another field day. =)

Wow! I'm so glad they have made field days so much fun for the kids, unlike when you girls were in elementary school! haha!! Looks like a fun day, and what a cutie Alexis is. That's so great you and Brandon could both go this year.

I was just thinking the same thing mom! I remember our field days were never any fun. They were always so competitive and I never won any good ribbons! lol

Well, I think Field Day has come leaps and bounds from the boring old events of the 100 meter dash and so on. Glad Alexis had a great time!

Did they win prizes? Remember the lame medals the girls got on field day in kindergarten? Mrs. Sexton was so embarrassed by them, she was apologizing.
It does look like a lot of fun, and the events definitely are cool.

Lexi looks so grownup! Her field day looks much funner than the ones that we used to have...I remember ours being really competitive with not nearly as fun events! That's so fun that Brandon got to come, it looks like he is having a blast!

Lexi does look so grown up! I was thinking about your kiddos today and how they are getting so big and it made me cry because I don't want them to grow up! Then they won't cuddle me anymore :( But it will be fun to see them grow! That's funny that both of those friends (kelsie and kira) were some of my kids at the daycare at one time!
