The first thing with field day was they had to make a goal of something they wanted to accomplish and if they did, then they got a "point" for their team. The "field" was by a lake which had a path around it. They were supposed to make a goal of how many times they wanted to go around the lake by either walking, running, biking, etc. It's about 1 mile around the lake. For older kids, no problem, but I will say I was very concerned about what Elianna would do. It would take us awhile to walk or run around the lake - little legs don't go very fast. The other option was biking. In the past, when she would ride her bike around the very small path we had behind our old house (about 1/4 mile), her legs would get so tired and she couldn't make it around (mostly drama but still.).
Since biking was pretty much our only option, it's what we went for. Being the good mother I am, I forgot her bike helmet so she rode around the lake (1 time) without it. She only tipped over 4 times (it was on a bit of an incline) without her helmet. Glad I was there to catch her!
After everyone finished completing "their goal", the games began. They had sack races and hoping games, and spinning games and then they broke out these older kid games that the little ones were like "what?" about. That's where the disorganization comes into play. All games must be all age appropriate. A 3 or 4 year old is not going to know how to play Spider In the Web or Banana, Gorilla, and something. There was another long list but some of the teachers revolted and asked if we could be done after tug of war. Yes, several littles almost got trampled in tug of war.
We ate lunch, played and waited for the ice cream to come. The team that won got to buy their ice cream first.
Overall, Elianna had fun = success!

I love her little pony tale during the sack race: just bouncing along!
That should be tail. Not tale. :)
