Hands down, Nathan’s favorite thing in the whole wide world is running! And he’s GREAT at it! Oh how I wish I could find a track and field league for this aged child, but no luck. So to honor his passion, we threw him a Track and Field 6 year old birthday party. Although his birthday is in November, things got pushed back, so almost three months later…here it is. I think it was worth the wait (and he agrees…thankfully)!
We asked his buddies to tie up their running shoes, put on some sports pants, and get ready for a serious case of the runs. We met at Greenfield Junior High’s track field, running many events for these world class athletes to have a speedy great time.
We began with sprints, finding each boy’s best score once they broke through the blue taped finish line then we held races in like-timed heats.
Next, we taught the boys how to shot put then long jump.
We ended in the stands to sing Nathan his birthday song, snacking on healthy treats, cake, and sports drinks. We had a fantastic time and honored that so many of his great buddies came to celebrate the wonderfulness of Nathan Gerald Kempiak!
