Sports Class: Track and Field Day


Wednesday Zoe and Ella ate their breakfast while watching a hummingbird eat her breakfast.

What a fun way to start the day!!


After breakfast the girls went to their last sports class of the summer, and they now know more about Track and Field than me.

First they stretched standing up ......

.... then they stretched sitting down.

They also ran as fast as they could ....

They practiced throwing the little-kid version of the javelin, I think that's what it's called (using a ball in a sock) .....

They jumped the kid-version high jump (over a jump rope) .....

And they also jumped the long jump. Zoe landing ....

.... and Ella mid-jump.

Both girls were disappointed they didn't run a relay (the've been doing that in our backyard with their Dad) and that class is over with, but Ella was really disappointed they didn't learn how to play football. No worries though, their Dad bought them a pink football for family football games in the backyard. So 'Sports in the Backyard' will continue, even though 'Sports of All Sorts' is over with ......

So sad the class ends because I know they like it.

PS: Where do you bought the pink basket for basketball. I would like to buy one for the girls for Christmas.

I am so proud of E and Z learning about different outdoor sports! You two young ladies are very well-rounded when it comes to activities!
Love you two...Auntie Jen
