Wednesday
Pippi went to Austin, TX for a school field trip. The Warlock followed the bus in his truck so he could be a chaperone. One of the boys in his group said his favorite part of the field trip was hanging out with Pippi's Dad.
Friday
Pippi had a field day. I could only go and snap pictures for 15 minutes. When I was in elementary school, field day was much different. We had a fifty meter dash, a softball throw, a long jump event, three-legged races, sack races. The whole school went in the morning and in the afternoon we had a lunch of hot dogs and went to Mrs Bock's plant sale, and then maybe watched a movie. Pippi's field day was in the afternoon. The three events I saw were:
Saturday
Pippi had a swim meet, so the whole family had a swim meet. Pippi beat her previous time in the backstroke. She also raced the 25m Freestyle and the 25 m butterfly.

| The parents buy their kids T-shirts and then the kids sign them before field day begins. |
 |
| Right before I leave, Pippi let's me take her picture and gives me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Any bets on how much longer she will embrace her mama in public? I'm hoping for forever, but I will take whatever I can get. |
