Field Day

Hannah's School had Field Day last Friday. They were going to be Newton's Nerds but the name was struck down by the Administration. So the class rallied and became:

Newton's Knights


The parents pulled together and got the makings for the round tables and shields and princess hats.

Several dads help assemble the castle front on the tent tower and all.


Yours truly wanted to ensure we put it over the top and so I dressed as the Court Jester. We even had a trumpet (actually it was a trombone) to announce the arrival of the Newton's Knights!

The kids enjoyed it so it was all worth it.

I did cart wheels down the field with all the kids in the class which drew a laugh from all the teams.

I got to walk with the team for the opening parade.

Hannah and Elizabeth having a good time!

Hannah taking a break. It was hot and there was a lot going on.

So after sitting for a little bit, Hannah and all the others are back up and jumping around.

One of the final events of the day is the tug of war. As you can tell from Hannah's expression, I don't think the team she was on was expected to win.

The day ended with some very tired kids!
