Field Day!

This morning Jolie and I packed it up and headed over to field day to watch Colby compete in the elementary school version of the Olympic games. I called the school first because it was raining and they said they always have field day--even if it's snowing. I hope I don't ever have to see that! Anyway Colby did a great job and had a lot of fun. Because it was so cold, I didn't get pictures of all the events. Colby also competed in the Gunnysack race (3rd place), and the 800 meter relay (4th place).

Here's Jolie all bundled up--she wasn't very happy about the weather.

Here's the landing! Colby jumped 5' 2" AND received 1st place for his grade. He said, "mom I almost jumped over you!" He's right, he just missed it by 2 inches!

Here's Colby getting ready for the 50 yard dashAnd they're off....What a finish! I love that face--so determined. Colby got 2nd place on this race.

Here's Colby with all of his awards for the day. His team was the Buck'n Broncos. Good Job Bud--I'm glad you had a fun day.
