Field Day!
Friday, our team at work participated in United Way’s “Day of Caring.” We left the office for a day and staffed a local elementary school’s field day. It was fun to get out of the office and spend the day at the park! Morgan, Trisha and I staffed the tug-of-war station. (It was definitely a three person job.) Through Ryan’s work, he mentors a kindergartener.Coincidentally, the boy Ryan mentors was at the school we volunteered with on Friday! Ryan has a picture of them together, so I studied the picture and went to field day ready to meet him.
Morgan and I found him right off the bat (the kid was wearing the same shirt on Friday that he was wearing in the picture Ryan has). Morgan and I took far-away stalker-like pics (shown here) and then I introduced myself. He really was not interested in meeting the weird lady who knew his name.
All in all – field day was a blast! Kids have so much energy. I was exhausted that night and slept very soundly.

Nice pics.
I wish I could have a field day :(
I love the bandana in the hair! I'm totally going to steal your style.
The best part was when the 60lb 3rd grader challenged the (probably) 200lb 5th grader to tug-of-war. This was no hero story...the little one lost.
Is that Julia or a really tall 4th-grader?!?
That's Julia - she had the busiest station ... water baloons!
