2010 Homeschool Field Day

At the end of May, the NP Area Homeschool Association hosts a Field Day for the kids. It is very well organized and planned out so that the kids get to participate in a variety of field-type events. Below are some of the high-light photos. Preschoolers get to take part in scaled back events, while the bigger kids "compete" in their age divisions.

Will & Nicholas running the first race.

Will is in the red sweat-shirt and red hat; Nicholas is off to the right of him.

He, of course, brought up the rear in the both foot races, which made him very sad.

But for the 2nd foot race, Nicholas had picked up the get-ready stance - hands on his knees - from the bigger kids!

having a snack about this time.

Sophia competed with other 5 & 6 year olds. She did really well in many of the events.

Below she took 1st in the 50 Yard Dash, then 2nd in the 100 Yard Dash.
(She is in red pants, white shirt and blue hat.)

She got 1st in the High Jump.

Below is the Soft Ball Throw, which she took 3rd place in.

I think this one is the Running Long Jump.

She placed 3rd in the Standing Long Jump.

Here she is (3rd from left) in the gunny-sack race.

I did not include a photo of the Soccer Kick, but she took 3rd in it.

All in all, it was a very good day, but by the end of it I was exhausted!
