Track and Field Day



It's totally worth it to endure 180 days of school because the last two weeks are AWESOME! After we got to run chapel, we were thrilled to have Track and Field Day! Jacob, Zeke and I were on the black team.

We won ribbons this year! I got first place for the Long Jump, Third Place for Softball throw and a few 4th and 5th place ribbons too.

Catherine dominated the girl's events!

Mom came as soon as she could with B. Luckily Clayton was there too.

We big kids like to hang around looking cool. People pretty much leave us alone.

I really love my friends. I'm going to miss Daniel!

B didn't want to do anything but slide down this big slide he's recently conquered.

The only catch is that he won't go down unless he sees Mom's face at the bottom!

Violet was on our team. We boys enjoyed giving her LOTS of instructions for how to win.

This was the distance run. I thought I had it on lock down and I did own the event until I gave up about 15meters early.

Mom says my form could use some work too.

While all the action was taking place on the grass, Clayton and B were ankle deep in mud in the field.

Good thing he kept his clothes on. It's hard to find him amongst the cornstalks!

Probably the funniest moment of the day was when Mr. Finchum called Big Ol' Ryan Castor up. He claimed to be the fastest kid in school so Mr. Finchum asked if anyone thought they were faster and wanted to race him. You'll never guess which little man shot his hand up! Yup. He soon had almost every girl at Zion cheering "Go Batman Go!"

There was a catch! Ryan had to carry a bag full of soccer balls. This gave Jaden, the brave kindergartner a distinct advantage. Brave little Batman came in second without his shoes!


Sorry man, we take these races very seriously. Batman crossed the finish line first, THEN went back to check on Ryan.

What an awesome day!
