Field Day!

Today was Leiden's outdoor field day.  I took the girls to watch Leiden's class run around and play games.  I worried about keeping them away from the games, so I brought bribery.  Mimi is just fine with sitting--she's got a sucker.

It was cute to see Leiden running around with her friends. 

Mac was quite well behaved, as well. 

One of the games was water balloon baseball, and Leiden hit the balloon on the first pitch!  She quickly ran to first base.

Her later attempts were not quite as successful, but just as fun to watch!

By now, the sucker was gone, but Mimi was contented with climbing the fence. 

The last event everyone was invited to participate--kicking a shoe as far as you can! 

Leiden really does have a sweet teacher.  The girls got a popsicle with the rest of the class. 

Mac was in her element with all the kids in Leiden's class.  They were all pretty interested in her and Mimi, too. 

It was a fun afternoon and it got the girls out of the house.  Leiden is almost done with first grade!
