June 11

Field Day was this morning, which means the kiddos played different games out on the field at school. Sack races, bouncing on giant rubber balls, hula hoop races, rubber chicken toss, tug of war.

Actually, the last activity was the fifth grade tug of war, girls versus boys. It was hilarious to see them yanking that rope back and forth, and seeing each side break into cheers upon scoring a victory. One especially brilliant round saw the girls deliberately send the boys flying backward by not pulling.

Anyhow, the way they work together as teams is a blessing, since we're made by God to live and thrive together, not by ourselves.
