The town of Hillsboro has Track and Field events for kids every Wednesday during the summer, so we decided we would go check it out last week. The kids had no idea what track and field was, let alone races, but they had a blast. Every kid got a ribbon for each event they competed in, so we came home with a ton of ribbons because they wanted to do them all.
Here is Savannah doing the long jump. She had a lot of fun, but got a little too competitive and would get frustrated that she wouldn't win. But in the end she just said that she loved it and wanted to come here again.
Jonah is the one on the far left lane going over the hurdle. When he saw the hurdles for the 11 year olds he cried and said he couldn't do it, but then when he saw the hurdles for the 5 year olds he was so excited and did great!
Jacob doing the 200 yard dash, which was a little too far. He came in last by about one minute. :) But he did much better in the 50 yard dash.

Wow, Megan, this looks like a blast! My kids would love it! We need to introduce it to Lehi...
What a fun activity! We would melt into puddles if we tried that here - they'd have to do it in January.
