It's Ain't What it Used to Be

.

.Monday I attended my two youngest girls Field Day.

There were many events at their Field Day we just didn't do when I was in elementary school.

.

Such as this.

(aren't those two boys in front of the line hilarious in the pic?)

And this. Although it does look cool and refreshing.

.

And this. Huh?

.

I don't recall searching through a pool of bird seed for a list of tiny things.....

.Or catching rubber chickens with colorful disks.....

Never heard of it.

.

But I do remember this.

Fondly, actually. I love me some tug of war.

.

"Mom, why didn't you put the camera down and help us, like my teacher did, when the boys were about to win?"

."Cause Zoe, it's like this..... I'm like a journalist .....almost in my dreams, and the picture is more important than helping. And stuff. I have to capture the moment....not interfere. And stuff."

."That's mean."

.

And I do remember the 100 yard dash.

And I remember the friendships.

(and stupid boys doing bunny ears)
