I just figured out how to get more than 4 pictures on here and how to type in between the pictures. What a day!!!!

Anyway, the kids participated in their first field day on Thursday. They had such a good time. In addition to these events, they chipped and putted golf balls, threw baseballs, punted and threw footballs, kicked and juggled soccer balls, shot free throws and ran a 60 meter dash. They were worn out! The coaches said Drue had a good golf swing for such little experience. She accredited that to her Granddaddy. She also thought it was neat that one of the coaches was a golf pro just like Granddaddy. Sorry Dad, I had to explain what a golf pro was! Lukas was a little intimidated at first with all the sports on such an older kid level, but did a wonderful job. His best event was the chipping. He was to closest to getting a ball in the bucket. And he did that twice. The coaches were most impressed with Samuel's athletic ability. They named him "Slammin' Sam" after seeing his impressive basketball skills. He did almost as well and Lukas in many of the events and maybe a little better in a few. I think he could have hit the golf ball if he had a really small club. Launa participated in some events, though her favorite was the 60 meter dash. She plays "ready, set, go" at home and when she heard the coach yell that she took off running. I think they completed two races while she was running. She didn't care. She laughed the whole way.

All in all it was a wonderful time and the kids spent hours today practicing for the next field day. The coaches encouraged the moms to keep up with the practice as the kids can get scholarships!
