On a normal school day, I would like to stay in bed and sleep longer, but today I was out of bed as soon as I heard Mommy tell me it was 6:45am.  I was so excited about today being Field Day.  It is the best school day of the year.  We play all day.

All of my bus gang wore their Field Day shirts. 

We didn't need our backpacks, so I didn't take mine.  We were supposed to bring a towel but I forgot but it didn't really matter.

 Mommy filled out my application for early dismissal.  I always enjoy early dismissal.

This flyer let my adults know how field day would be ran. 
School starts at 8:14am.  We all went to the bathroom, and got a drink before we headed outside at 8:30am.  Barbara was there watching for my class to come outside.  My class started at station 8, worked all the way through station 20, then did stations 1 through 7.

Barbara took videos of my all morning session and Mimz took videos during the afternoon session.  The first session was from 8:30am to 10:30am.  Lunch break was from 10:30am to 12:30pm.  Barbara was there all day.  Mommy was there for part of the first session and lunch break.  Mimz was there for the afternoon break, since she volunteers at the hospital on Friday mornings.

I am the most athletic boy in my class.  Lily Kate is the most athletic girl.  We paired up for the two person events because we both could do most things at about the same level.  She is a little better at using a hula-hoop. 

I am much better at throwing a baseball and a football.  I had the hardest time with the large ball with a handle that you sit on and bounce around the course.  Smaller kids had an easier time.  Some of the events were using a type of stilt, riding a low seat on wheels while using plungers in your hands and walking like a crab, basketball shooting, golf, group skiing (sort of), 4 team tug of war, and two team tug of war.  In the two team tug of war, the girls beat the boys two times but I think there were more girls on their side.   

This picture is of my best friend in class, Teagan, and his dad.

We took off our shoes and socks before a fire truck soaked us with water from a big fire hose.  About half the class brought a towel which they used to dry off a bit. 

We got a Popsicle as a treat. There were a couple of hula-hoop activities. and different kinds of races.

We went inside at 12:30, to use the restroom, and wash our hands.  We all ate lunch in the classroom.  Some brought their lunch from home, some went to the cafeteria to get lunch, and some kids had their parents bring them food from a fast food place.  Mommy brought us Subway sandwiches.  I had a meatball sandwich, a drink, chips, and a cookie. 

Mrs. Havemann put the movie The Lion King on the TV and turned down the lights.  Some kids spread out their towel, ate lunch and watched it.  I watched for maybe a total of five minutes.  I mostly visited with the boys.  

Mrs. Havemann said we could play Texas Stride if we wanted to and almost everyone wanted to do that.  Mommy and Barbara watched me and talked with other parents.  There were probably about 8 parents there.  They talked with Teagan's dad about getting Teagan and me together this summer. 

Mimz arrived at 12:30pm so she was there for the entire second session.  At 2:30pm we were back in our room and I got to have early dismissal because I had turned in a paper saying I could leave early.  Barbara and Mimz both told me they really enjoyed the day and would be back next year.

Daddy was waiting in his truck for Mimz to bring me to him. We were going to the dirt bike track.
