That Water is Cold!

This is our fourth RBE Field Day and by far it was the coldest.  Normally it is warm and the kids can not wait for the water games.  While I didn't see any one choose not to participate in the water games, there were some goosebumps and chattering teeth when they were through.  It wasn't raining though like last year and the kids were able to be outside so that was a definite improvement.  Ella was cold but didn't want to wear her jacket to keep it dry to put on later in the day.  Despite one mishap with a rubber duck to the eye (a whole other story) she had a fun morning.  

I enjoyed my morning too. I was in charge of Sacajawea with Mary and Amber (who also happen to be the moms of two of Ella's good friends).  Mary and I ran the same game two years ago so we felt like experts this time around.  At our game the kids work together to ski to a cone (see the last picture) and then hop back to the original cone in a potato sack.  It is always fun to watch the kids and see them working together.  

Her facial expression says it all!

Always a good day though when you are outside playing.
