Leah's Field Day

The whole family spent last Wednesday at Leah's school, cheering her whole class on in her first field day. They marched onto the field waving American flags and stood for the National Anthem. It was all very exciting, and watching the events brought me right back to my childhood memories of my field days.

Laura, the ever faithful sister, spent the entire day with Leah. She really enjoys coming to the big girl school, and Leah's whole class treats her like one of their own.

Leah & Ally getting ready for the three-legged race.

I was blown away by their coordination, and they flew down the field. My mom said that she had seen them practicing on her days in the classroom.

The whole class took a second to pose for a picture.
Here's Leah being coached by her teacher.

And the winners are....Mrs. G's class!!!! They were so excited.
It wore Leah out a little, but my Mom was so smart and brought cold washcloths for all of the children.

Leah helping with an event the whole class was able to do called the flood. You had run back and forth, dunking the sponge in a trashcan of water, and whoever filled their bucket the most won.

Here's a video of Leah's class in Tug of War. I was super impressed with their strength and determination. I think it's so cute how Leah can't stop jumping and spinning around from her overflowing excitement.


Me with my girl, it was such a great day.

After a long day in the sun, we finished up having an early dinner at Chick-fil-A. One last tip, did you know you can trade in the kid's toy/book for an ice cream cone? After being a Mom for 6 years, I just discovered that from a friend a few weeks ago. Better late than never I guess.
