Hooper Field Day...

Dalen and Tiernan at field day

Friday was the elementary school Field Day. McKenna has hit the elite position as 6th grader, therefor earning her position as a dunkie for the Dunk Tank. It just so happened that her group was chosen to go at the exact same time the first grade was having their turn at field day. Dalen was more than happy to take the first shots of his sister sitting atop the dreaded white board. I was volunteering that day for the PTA and was witness to this blessed event. Dalen took great pleasure in enacting a little revenge on the Big Sister. He also enjoyed the sheer look of terror on her face as she realized what was about to happen! Even though he didn't hit the target with the balls provided, he still gave her the splash she deserved.



McKenna in the aftermath...


Good Job Bubba! It was hard to see this event as one of the last they would ever share at the same school. Now she is moving on to bigger and better things, and soon he will be the one in the dunk tank.

That is classic.. perfect that you got to be there first hand for that shared memory... Just crazy that our kids are at the same stage. Al goes on to 7th next year and Xaine will be a BIG 1st grader... good thing they keep us young otherwise I'd think we were getting old... nah.. LOL...

Ivie's field day is on Thursday. I really hope I can go. Even for a few minutes. :) I can't believe you have a sixth grader. (Not for much longer!)
