track n field part 2

thanks to the rain last friday ...
the team events of track n field day were postponed until today.
we ended up with a gorgeous ... and busy ... afternoon



the 2nd graders started things off with the tug of war

ben's class struggled at first
but then found their groove and won back to back

and what victory would be complete without a chest bump ;)

they ended with a 2nd place finish in the tug of war
and
a photo finish win in the class relay
a race where EVERY person in their class gets a chance to run



and just as they were finishing up ...
the fourth graders were making their way out.

this 4th grade bunch is VERY athletic
and the teachers are very competitive ...
so it was exciting to watch :)



drew had a quick run
he said the beans he had for lunch helped his speed ;)

but ...
their team still took 2nd.

THEN ...
in the tug of war
i expected an easy win.



with a good chunk of the football team representing ...
how could they not?!

WELL ...
i forgot that the other 1/2 of the team was in the other class :)
AND ...
it didn't go so well.

BUT ...
they didn't have to be in class



SO ...
win or lose ...
the afternoon was still fun.

nice job, boys!
