PIU Days #2–Field Events

Saturday is always the longest day of the PIU Days celebration. We began the day at 9 AM at the Bayview Church athletic field for the “field day” events. These events included everything from “breakfast scarf and barf” games to egg tosses to more usual field events like races, tug-o-war and soccer. We had a beautiful day for the events and, as always at Bayview, the view was spectacular and everyone enjoyed the events. The evening events included basketball and the Courage program over at the campus, but since I have so many pictures, I will put the evening events in the next post.

The staff kids had a great time playing outside

The guys and girls three-way soccer game was hard fought

The staff kids, parents and grandparents soccer game was less hard fought. I think Josh managed to take my picture at the very moment I popped my knee trying my famous Miradona move.

The staff kids race was pretty competitive. I am not sure if Serenity was upset that she lost or that she fell

The spectators enjoyed the spectacle and student body president Davy Welle kept things moving with his announcements

Things got serious with the women’s 100 yard dash

And with the guys

The Eating relay always creates some great photo opportunities

One of my favorite activities – lunch from Jamaican Grill

After lunch we ran the relay races

The egg-toss is always a favorite event

The tug-o-war provided the finale for the field events. Yes that is Titus joining the men’s team and helping them to victory
