Field Days at school

with it being April, Gavin has had a lot of activity at school.
Field day with the entire school. it's a FREE day for the students and an extra hard day for the teachers but a whole lot of fun :D there are maybe 10 teams and there is almost one student in every grade on each team. Gavin was carried around the whole day on Mr. Jay's shoulders and then when it came to track and field day i asked Mr. Jay if Gavin would have to run his own races? :D he did and it was good competition! he came first in the frizbee throw...my favorite part was the long jump...most of the kinders ran, stopped and hopped. after 3 or 4 jumps and watching others...they caught on pretty quick. then he had a field trip...and paul and i got to go along with :D we went to the train station and road a little train through what seemed to be national geographic! it was amazing all the things we passed and if we stuck our hands out we could touch it all. men were digging up mud that would be bottled and shipped to places to put on people's bodies all over the world. men were fishing, herding ducks, plowing the rice patties with cows, smoking, carrying huge loads on their backs, talking with neighbors about the load of foreigners in the train and the women were doing a lot of laundry! it was a great trip and then afterwards they got to climb on a bunch of old engines that were parked there cuz the train no longer runs through there. good times this mr. gavin has had!
