Track and Field Day

Upon getting out of bed every morning for the past month, Leif has asked me if "today is track and field day". And every time I asked him about it, he'd proudly explain that  "it's where the little kids get to go to the HIGH SCHOOL TRACK..." and he left it at that. Apparently, going to the high school track is all-the-rage if you're a kindergartener  -who knew? ;)

I happen to remember Track and Field Day growing up, and yeah...it was pretty much a big deal; whose competing in what, predictions on whose gonna win. Ahem, maybe even a little "betting" going on....
anywho, bottom line is, i was just as excited for Leif to get his golden day at the high school track as he was.

Track and Field Day 2010

The events Leif signed up for were the Baseball Toss, the Three Legged Race and the 100 and 200 meter races. For those of you who do not know what Track and Field Day is, it's a program organized by the school, where the students get to compete in various different athletic events. And it's great fun!

Baseball Toss:

Three legged Race

fueling up with a Capri Sun between heats.

Then it was on to the 100 and 200 meter races...

On your mark, get set, GO!

The Fan Club:

after sitting from 9am-1pm...we're all sporting major farmer's tans ;)

there were pre-prepared jugs of water for the students competing in the days events...sam helped himself to several cups of it before i caught on... what can he say, being a spectator is a grueling job.
