Field Day

Our homeschool group had it's field day last week. What fun it was. The kids participated in the following events: 100 m run, jump rope, broad jump, softball throw, potato sack, obstacle course and shoe kick.


Our group finished the 100 m race in time to do an extra race of running backwards.

Melissa won her only blue ribbon in the jump rope competition. 182 jumps

Melissa won the first heat in the potato sack race and then tied the winner of the second heat twice!!! However on the last attempt, Melissa fell and her friend won.

Father-Son Football Game

Today was the father-son football game for our homeschool football league. What a blast! Harrison was looking forward to this game. He couldn't wait to see his father play football. Rich has been his coach for football and baseball and they play catch quite frequently. However, they had never actually played a game together. It really made a difference in Harrison's attitude. He was more attentive and more focused on the game than usual. He played harder too. He was so proud of himself after the game.


The game was fun. Our side scored the first touch down and the other side tied the game at the last minute. It looked like there was a lot of comraderie on the field and the weather was absolutely perfect!

Watch Out Robin Hood

My son loves Legolas, William Tell, and Robin Hood. Therefore, it's no great surprise that he clamored to learn archery. Here he is having his first archery lesson with Dad.

Of course, big sister got a chance too!
