Homeschool Field Day

One of the cool things about homeschooling out here where we do is our homeschool group.  We are completely unincorporated and that is what makes us great.  There are no rules, no board meetings, no requirements, no specified homeschool methods...just people who homeschool that want to do things together.  If someone wants to organize a game of frisbee golf or a field trip to the fish hatchery, it gets done and people show up.  One of the best things we do every year (except last year) is Field Day.  This year, our local parks department helped us out!

It was so great to see all the kids that turned out!  There were plenty of friends we've known the whole time we've lived here and a bunch of new friends too!

 These two have known each other since before they were born :D

The kids played a game where they stood in a circle and moved a hula hoop around without unlinking hands...

 They had to run through a field with their eyes closed and NOT kick one of the balls!  Two of my children walked.

 Potato sack race!  And a tug o war, but a don't have a picture of that.  There weren't prizes or ribbons given out; the kids just played to have fun.  That is my kind of field day!

Lula loved the bubble juice...she kept trying to eat it!  That was my clue that it was time to pull out our picnic lunch.

We were there for four hours!  Of course, we had a marathon day and were on the go for twelve hours yesterday (whew).  The kids and I are exhausted from all the fun we had yesterday!
