Michael's Field Day

Today was Michael's school's field day. What an event. It started just before 9 AM and finished just after 3 PM. It was non-stop activity all day. What an event. Nothing was left to chance. Everything was planned down to the second. It was a flawless and very fun day. It's obvious these kids have mastered their events for this day. There were 25 events today.

The day was filled with relays, coordination events, teamwork events, music, dancing, balance events, singing, speeches, and so on. Many of the events were not simple events. This wasn't thrown together at the last minute. This was planned and rehearsed. It was definitely a full day.

The school was split into two teams, red and white. All events pitted these 2 teams against each other for points. At the end of the day, the team with the most points gets the trophy and bragging rights until the next year. It's a pretty big deal.

Attached are some pictures. There's even one of Terry participating in the PTA tug of war. Terry's team won both matches. Unfortunately, Terry was on the red team and Michael was on the white team.

Next week it Tommy's field day.
