A local private school invited our local homeschool group to participate in their track and field day. We didn't have enough time to do much preparation, so some of the events were being introduced for the first time. It was such a nurturing and encouraging environment the kids felt confident to give everything a try. There was long jump and the tricky triple jump, obstacle courses for younger ages and shot put for older kids, relay races, long and short distances, and free time for just a few. It was a full day.
There were lots of familiar faces and a chance to make new friends. Each event had ribbons, although the competitive feel didn't accompany it. Elias, who has been known to say running long distance isn't something he enjoys, lead the pack on the long distance run. Aria who has taken people out with crazy throws during family baseball got the red ribbon in long throw. Ben blew everyone away with his distance at standing long jump. Everyone walked away feeling accomplished.
