Field Days

Both Emily and Tara had their field days this week. An end of the year play day, if you will. We finally got photos of the girls with their teachers. We had
chilly winds and sprinkles for Emily's on Weds. Tara had her field day in doors. The ice cooler with drinks wasn't even necessary.
We had fun though. The girls had fun with their friends....and especially not doing work in the class room. Emily ran the 50 yard dash, hula hooped, hurdled, three-legged race with her friend Ayana and ran sack race. Tara ran the 50 yard dash, jump-rope run, hula hoop, tug of war and hurdles. The 2nd graders got to have a water balloon toss at the end. Fun, fun. Jacob and I were great cheer leaders.
Tara missed two days of school due to a cold...and has spent this weekend doing pages and pages of math. Little did she know, it was a mathathon this week. ugh, not fun. Yesterday we all headed to the park. We took a picnic and went for a short mile hike. It was perfect weather, we all found walking sticks (lots of branches were broken from the rain storms that have been through this week). Jacob found more rocks for his rock collection. He seems to be most fascinated lately with any kind of rock he can find. Tara gave another talk in primary...and she came home with the question "are any of my grandma's still alive?" So, we sat down and made a family tree for her and dug up pictures of everyone. Grandma Cunningham, she was so glad to hear you were still alive. We only have 3 days of school left, and then begins the summer fun. We hope you all are well.
