Continuing with the theme of not so great weather....the day slated for track and field day at Harding started with overnight thunderstorms and ended with much cooler temperatures. Anna was sad that it was raining but that did not stop the fun. Most everything was moved indoors with several things in the covered areas outside. The sun did make a brief appearance in the afternoon but had everything been outside it would have made for some muddy kids! The second graders all wore green t-shirts and sweat bands (love that the girls wore them on their legs!) and were split into 2 teams. Anna's team had lots of passion and really was competitive. Gary and I each spent about an hour watching the kids and enjoyed that time a lot. Anna's team came in 3rd place for the 1st through 3rd grade teams. Lots of fun with a popsicle party at the end. I always loved field day growing up. At Campus School we would go over the track at U of M and also the field house for our activities. Nice to have great facilites right next door. I was always competitive and loved winning. Glad to see the kids have lots of energy to spare!
