Field Day numero dos

So day two at least started off quite a bit milder than day one did. Tent city made the sun's advances not so lethal and the kids not quite so tortured. My boy was fired UP about his events and he and his friends were ready to go. As in everyone's life, we all have seasons of successes and seasons of learning. For the most part, this year's field day was one of learning for the boy's class. They all had heart, just not a whole lot of speed. They had some quality speed, but just not enough. Here's the best part...they could have come in 55,000th place(they came in third out of three)...but the fact that they won 1st place in the tug o war made the third place overall a non issue. My son's face was so ripped with determination, it was excellent. Those kids pulled with all of their might, blistered up their hands and probably ruined their voal chords from screaming. The video is excellent of the boy and his friends embracing and jumping on each others' backs. If I just had those parents' permission, I would post that thing in a heartbeat. I was so proud of all of them, working together, cheering for their friends and taking their overall finish like champs. At that age, they really all want to win, well at any age we want to win. They had heart...and that was a win in my book.
