Field day, home style

Friday was field day for our home school group.  It was our first field day with our new home town. I couldn’t help but notice some peculiarities in this group, differences one might not experience in some Field days.

The parents and former students (older siblings) planned, organized, and directed the days events with a smile.

They also cheered the students on regardless of how well they did.

The children also cheered one another, and genuinely wanted each other to do well.

Boys of all shapes, sizes and colors waited patiently for their turns.

There was healthy competition were there were clear winners, and other competitions were just for fun.

There was only one poor sad girl(doesn't she look sad?) in the 11-12 year old group, but she didn’t seem to mind, and she beat all the boys in the jump rope, and the golf ball putting contests!

There were lots of 7-8 year old girls, but they didn’t seem to mind waiting for their turn.
