Joyland All-Boys Outing
The long-awaited Joyland boys' outing finally happened this past Saturday (3/24/2007) as more than thirty energetic boys made their landing at Tillman Park. The outing started off on a great start with a nice BBQ, but soon enough, we were getting into our teams for the main event of the day--the Joyland Boys' Olympics. Emulating the great olympians of the past, the boys (and teachers) engaged in various classic events such as the sprint, the (jump rope) marathon, soccer, and even the shot put and discus throw (a.k.a, tennis ball and Frisbee throw). Overall it was really good to spend some extended time with the kids and I got to learn the names of all the Impact boys who were there (finally!). Some highlights of the day included Taehoon's surprising win at the FTS ("Fourth Through Sixth" grade) sprint, Omar's great soccer ball handling skills, and Cavon's amazing catches during the kickball tournament. It was certainly another great day at the park with the boys.
