Here's a sure sign of Summer. The annual track meet is always the second to last week of school. Each class works as a team and at the end the gym teachers tally up the scores.
The weather was really crappy. It was really dark, cold and windy. So I basically was all over the place with my settings and some really didn't turn out so great, but at least documented some of it.
Here they are getting ready for the softball toss.

Schyler was so excited she won her dash - look at her go!


After all the competition is done they have lunch and then some fun time. Here the teacher calls out a color you are wearing or anyone's birthday in June, etc. and the kids run underneath. The other kids lay across the parachute and try to stop them from getting out. It's fun to watch but yes, some got kicked in the face and others got hit in the eye.



Now, here we are getting down to serious business LOL! Look at their faces! The gym teacher is giving out the scores for each event. Schyler's class got 1st in the dash, relay and long jump but because they tied for last place in the softball toss they ended up second overall - which Schyler was very happy about!

So this is the last entry I will ever make for my daughter's elementary track meet. After Thursday, she will officially be a 5th grader and going to the middle school. It really makes me sad that she is growing up so fast. Tomorrow will be a sad day - they are having their moving up ceremony. I'll be bringing my tissues!
