field day 2012

Field Day...always a big hit in the Murphree household.  Mary Reese's school loaded up on buses that morning and headed over to Banks's school for one big day of fun!  They had tons of stations set up and rotated through all day.  As luck would have it, Mary Reese's class was right behind Banks's class all day long.  It made it so much easier for Jody and Nanny Nan to keep up with all the fun!

Inflatables...



...a must for every field day!

They had hurdle races...





Mary Reese's turn to hurdle...



I love the look on her face!

Soccer goal kicking...





...and field goal kicking...



Popsicles...



...and snowcones...





...always a hit but even better when it is HOT outside!  Best when shared with your friends at your side...Abby, Mary Bibb and Mary Reese.

A good old Mrs. Propst hug...



Field Day always ends with a tug-a-war competition among each grade.  Go Mrs. Propst...



I heard it was pretty intense.  Mary Bibb's mom said Mary Reese looked at her after only a minute of pulling and asked her if she could quit pulling.  Ginny told she had to keep going!  I heard there was lots of mad woman cheering to help crown Mrs. Propst class as the 1st Grade Tug-a-War Champions!

Then it was time for 3rd Grade...



Banks was very disappointed his class was put out in the first round.  I guess there is always next year!

A fun day spent with all our friends...



All the field trips have been taken, all the school work is done, Field Day is over...Awards Day and End-of-the-Year parties are the only things left!
