2013 Swift Family Reunion 8

Today we had a Field Day activity.

Joshua and Rebecca were organizing the events.  We started out at Sunrise Elementary fields.  The first event was a race.

There were age brackets.  In this race you have Mallory, James, Julia, Tucker, and Ethan.  James won the race.

In a younger group was Jacob and Elliott.

Another group had Penelope and Christian.


An older group had Evan and Ashton.

Then you had a race with the grown women.  Although she started slowly, Doranda won the race and Amery was second.

In the men's race Nathanael won with Isaac a close second.  I was dead last.

The next event was a tug of war with four different teams.

We had old and young all mixed together.

Then there was a throwing contest.  Penelope was first.

Christain throwing the ball.

Jacob taking a throw.

A whole group of kids throwing, Mallory, Penelope, Tucker, Ethan, James, Ashton, Evan.

Older kids, Dallen, Evan, and Ashton.  Dallen had the best throw of all the kids.

The women all throwing, Talitha, Tianna, Kim, Rebecca, Amery, Jacquelyn, Doranda, Mary-Anne.  I think Rebecca had the longest.

Bob throwing for the men.

Nathanael throwing, he won this contest too.

Isaac had the best style.

It was so hot we retreated back to the house where there was water and finished in the backyard.  We did the limbo next.

Amery really knew how to do the limbo.  Does it still count if you hair drags the ground?

Then we had a standing broad jump.  Here's Mallory.
