1st Grade Field Day

Today was the first grade's opportunity to participate in Field Day at school.  The kids were divided into "teams" for the first half of the day and competed in relay races.  The second half of the day consisted of fun & games for everyone.

 anxiously awaiting her turn to race

 Her friend Brylyn was on her team

 Cooper was a little disappointed that he couldn't participate, so after a little bit of pouting, he played games on my phone

 getting instructions about the race

 Reagan is always a great cheerleader for her team!
