Scott had his first real walkathon. Last year, the boys did a few laps around the quad with the preschool, but they didn't have school the day of the walkathon.
I stayed with the younger boys, but was planning to just walk a lap or two then take them home. Perry took off after the big kids.
Then cut across the field, little cheater.
Jonah was in heaven. He loves being with the big kids and fit right in with the t-k and kinders.
They had obstacles along one side of the track for a little variety.
Perry insisted on doing all the obstacles himself.
Even though they were all bigger than he was.
Scott ran lap after lap. He did 22 and after lunch did a few more, for a total of 6.5 miles.
Thankfully it was overcast for the most part, which kept the heat at bay. There was a dj with fun music and water to keep us going.
After their hour was up, they had popsicles and headed back to class.
Jonah did at least half of the laps that Scott did and Perry ended up doing several as well.
He had a good, long nap that afternoon.
I love school activities like this. It wasn't a carnival-style big to-do like I was used to, but just a simple walking event and the boys all had fun.
