My kids left for school today with bright big smiles and the words “this is going to be the best day of the year!” Today is Super Happy Fun Kids Day at Truman Elementary. In regular terms that is also known as field day to us older ones. Since Jackson is in 5th grade he gets to “run” the activities and Caytie gets to enjoy. We have quite a spectrum of activities available. Not like the old days where the uncoordinated kids got picked for tug of war instead of the relay race. Truman likes not to leave any child behind. We have rubber chicken toss, limbo, sock wars (a take on wrestling), lemon twists, sack races, medicine ball throw, ring toss….you name it and we probably have it. Kids run all over the place playing games and enjoying the pretty weather.
A rubber chicken toss? That sounds AWESOME! Why didn't they have cool stuff like that when we were in elementary school?
