A Rival for Saturday: Field Day, Golf, Baseball and Band Concert

Our life has been busy in bunches lately.  The amount of activity on Thursday rivaled the previous Saturday.

First up from 10am till 1pm was a "Field Day" with our homeschool group.  I didn't know what to expect but was really impressed at how things worked out.  They had a schedule of activities for the kids and they really kept them moving the whole time.

Here was the schedule:

• Opening Ceremonies
• Parent/Kid Ultimate Frisbee (Lance made, two points, Jared fielded well and Titus kept moving)
• Potato Sack Race 
• Wheel Barrel Race
• 3 Legged Race
• Capture the Flag
• Kick the Shoe Off Contest
• Water Balloon Toss (Lance's team won)
• Running race (for anyone who still had energy like my three boys)

While the boys were actively engaged, there was a nice playground for Amber and her best bud Lily to spend their time playing and teleporting to keep me on my toes.

Everyone had a great time and could have easily rested the rest of the day but there was no time for idleness.  We went home ate, rehydrated and took off for Golf Lessons.  Lance did skip this event out and stay home with Amber and Chris to eat and get ready for then next activity; his baseball game.

Per our normal routine we show up 45 minutes before the game for Lance to warm up with the team and for the rest of the kids to play at the playground (as if they hadn't played enough). 

Once the game started we moseyed over to the stands and I took out my new secret weapon to keep Amber in the stands....Playmobile horses.  At one of Jared's game she was kept entertained by another little girl's play horse but frustrated that the doll couldn't ride the horse.  So Chris and I had spent our date time on Mother's Day going around town looking for a toy horse WITH a rider.

We could only stay at the game for the first half because Jared, Titus, Amber and I had a concert to attend across town.  Our friend/neighbor/babysitter really wanted us to come to her high school band concert.  The concert was exceptionally good and they were happy to see us there.  My kids were exceptionally good as well.  Now we were all truly done.  We had survived an enjoyed another full day.
