Olympic Day

Last Friday was Olympic Day at my daughter's school. In her opening speech the principal said that Olympic Day has been in existence for 20 years. We've been in the school for 17 years and have seen 15 Olympic Days (2 between the time girlie went to Kindergarten and boy left 5th grade). Long time!

The weather this year was beautiful and sunny - a little hot - but they cooled off by running through the sprinkler or getting sprayed by the hose. Being in third grade there were all new events for them to participate in; K-2 has different events. I think their favorites were the tug of war; especially when they tried it girls v. boys and the girls won (moms are girls - aren't they?!) and a version of musical chairs played with hula hoops.
