Jelly Bean Field Day

Today, is June 7, 2013. I'm pretty sure this will be Gavin's most favorite school day ever. It's Jelly Bean Field Day. Just the name sounds fun. Jelly Bean Field Day is a day held every first friday in June at AES. AES is my beloved Elementary school. Jelly Bean Field Day was always my favorite day in school. We looked forward to it ALL year. It's a day filled with a bunch of different games and activities the kids play. For each game/activity they complete, they get a certain amount of jelly beans at a jelly bean station. The kids run around, get all sweaty and then, just when they can eat no more, they break for a picnic lunch with their classmates. It's the stuff childhood is made of. It's rainy and blah today so, the fun was moved inside. The littles would have been overwhelmed & cranky. Maybe next year. I can't wait to hear all about his day. I hope he loves it every bit as much as I did.
