Field Day

The girls had field day at their school today. It was really fun--everyone got good and wet--and tired. Their gym teacher really outdid himself with opening ceremonies this year. They played the Olympic theme song over the loud speaker while 'torch' runners passed the torch and ran in. Emma was chosen as a torch runner...that's her in the blue sweatshirt
(you're all in trouble now that I know how to do videos on my blog!!)

Then the local high school band played the National Anthem and various sporting-event songs while kids from each class paraded in with class flags. Finally, there was a fly-over by a Blackhawk helicopter...very impressive...and most excellent!! Emma beneath her class flag

Sophie's Shoe Kick--mostly just went UP instead of OUT but good effort!!
