Field Day

Wet n' Wild. Spoon Zoom. Tug o' War. Water Balloon Volleyball. Tricycle Relay. These are just to name a few of the games that were coordinated and played at today's Field Day. Ms. Christine Eldridge organized the whole thing and it was our first time to go. I manned the Wet n' Wild game, which I think is a pretty cool game.

Two teams compete. There's a bucket at the front of the team filled with water with a large sponge in it. The first person in line grabs the sponge and tosses it over their head to the next person in line. When the sponge goes over everyone's head and it reaches the last person in line, they squeeze the sponge to release whatever water was left into the empty bucket. Then that person goes to the front of the line and the process starts over. When everyone on each team completes that whol process you measure how much is in the bucket. Whoever has the most water wins! It was fun to watch the youth play these games. I got some pictures but my camera is in the car and it's storming so you'll just have to wait to see.

There were 8 teams each with 7 or 8 on each team. Neither one of my children wanted to go because we do not usually do much with the Hernando-Nesbit Homeschool group and they don't know very many people. Both of my children had fun today and want to do Field Day again.

Each team is assigned a color. Erin was on the purple team, Caleb was on the yellow. Out of the 8 teams, Erin's team came in 6th. Caleb team somehow managed to come in.....

1st Place! Way to go Yellow Team!
