Track and Field Day

It was Track and Field day with our Homeschool group. What a great day to be outside and have some fun. This was Victoria's age group of 4/5's. She planned all week to wear her Wolf hat because she felt it would make her faster. I guess it worked because she came in 1st in the obstacle race and 2nd in the 100 yard dash.Check out this form. Our friend Dana would be impressed to see her do the Shotput.
Jared was only planning on helping until the coordinators realized that they had quite a few 13 year olds. So they got to run the course and do all of the events and have a few laughs.
It is absolutely hilarious watching these bigger kids squeezing through the tunnels in the obstacle course wearing bunny ears for kicks. I think the tunnel has seen better days. The wire form broke through. Kaleb and his friend Zach (to the right of Kaleb) did an awesome job in all of their events.
How do you like the Javelin? It is actually very tricky to throw a pool noodle straight especially on a breezy day. Some of the boys would throw it really hard thinking that their strength would make it go far only to have it get caught by the wind and either send it straight up and blow behind them or straight down. Then the girls would throw it and it would sail perfectly.
When the teens were done helping they got to do the courses. They are all such "Hams"...especially the boys or should I say...Young Men. I can't believe these guys and girls were the same little boys and girls from when we started Homeschooling 10-12 years ago. They are all turning out to be wonderful young men and women.

How fun! I love Victoria's Wolf hat. It reminds me of all the fun things we did with our Home school group.
