The last week of school at Trinity has several special events like honors day and citizenship breakfast. But the thing the kids look forward to the most is the green and gold games.
The school is divided into two teams (green and gold). The kids stay on the same team throughout their Trinity time. They then compete in wacky field games such as the toe marble pickup (Caroline's specialty), hula hoop hopping, spoon relays, and of course, tug of war. The trophy (with the winning team's colors) is placed near the front office for bragging rights for the next year. It is neat to see the "big kids" work with the little ones and encourage them throughout the year. Caroline and I run into two of her seventh grade teammates often and they always talk.
Thankfully Caroline and Maddy were both on the gold team. Notice Caroline is in a skirt. She has a new denim skirt with a mermaid and she didn't want to miss an opportunity to wear it to school (free dress day).

We have Grandma Harriet to thank for those long toes which enable us to do crazy things like pick up marbles with your toes. Parker is already perfecting the toe pinch!
