Homeschooler Field Day

First, some fun pictures that the kids took themselves....

Here's a trick Sam has learned to do now that he's missing his center bottom teeth.

These are long bars and small squares used in math, to count tens and ones. Now that school's out, they're fair game for being toys! Here, Alex made a beautiful building with a tower, and three steady bars below to support the structure.

Today was Field Day with our local Homeschooler's Group. Here, Sam's gearing up for a great kick!

Alex, also with a great kick. Out of our little group of six kids, he won this distance kicking game both times it was played. Of course, I think most of the other kids were six years old, which is younger than Alex, but it was still a nice achievement for Alex.

Sam and other teammates having a great time.

Sam, far right, and Alex, center, preparing for the oncoming team.

This is a "before" picture we took of the group. We knew it would rain later, and the ground was already muddy, so we thought a nice picture of clean kids before they played would be a fun comparison. Sam is front, far left, white shirt. Alex is second row, one from the far left, with a green hat on, and looking to the side.

Here's one of the "after" pictures.

Alex is in the front, far left, with a red, white, and blue shirt, and the green hat. Sam, with his white shirt, is in the front, three from the right.

Another after picture. It was actively raining at this point, so the parents with the cameras had to stay under the awning to keep the cameras dry. Alex, front left. Sam, front, three from right.
