Spring Fling!!!

Every year this is my favorite post. Waiting on Spring Fling is always the hardest thing to do - even harder than Halloween & Christmas. Well this is it. We had our totally work free day and played outside all day long. The "Fun Bus" made the annual visit and, I believe, exceeded every one's expectations. There was fun music, climbing, bouncing and sliding - and the best part - all of our friends were there. Yeah for Spring Fling 2011. We started with a fun "adventure/treasure" walk. Thanks so much to our parent volunteers who helped us with some tricky questions and for working hard to give us our "punch" on our name tag.
Even with the adventure walk, we still had time for some games - like the hula hoops, bowling & ring toss.
Then it was our time for the FUN BUS!!!!
We ended our day outside with a great "tug of war." It was epic for our class because it was girls vs boys. (come on - you would have done this too. 8 boys/8 girls - this was a "no brainer.") Although it was close - the girls were victorious. I love these pictures. You can see the determination on their faces.
It was a wonderful day and many thanks to all of the parents who helped make this so successful. As an aside, for the successful completion of our "nature/adventure walk,"the children did earn three sweet treats that started with letter s. We talked about asking for permission to enjoy these treats and that it would be best to enjoy them at different times. It was a little reward for a job well done for all 16 of these precious, smart children. Happy Spring Fling 2011. (PS - everyone should have enjoyed a great nap this afternoon or will be asleep early this evening. Some of us could barely hold our eyes open during carpool.)
