Middle School Memories

Field day was probably my favorite day of the school year in 7th and 8th grades! I got to wear sports attire, play outside all day, and showcase my skills in non-traditional events... the perfect day. One year a group of the athletes were elected captains and we held a team draft to allocate the desired members of our class. I was a captain for the red team and our team name was the 'red rockets' ... how inappropriate right? The good news is that we won that year. The bad new is that I missed the pie eating contest on account of our teacher leader was a ra-tard and screwed up the schedule. My favorite event was probably the hula hoop challenge. We had to get into a circle holding hands and move a hula hoop around our entire team as fast as possible. We developed a sweet- step, step, duck- pattern that won us the gold.

Since it was always super hot on field day in elementary school the fire truck would come to our fields and provide us kids with one huge sprinkler.
Sucked for the white team..

Ahh to be a kid again.
