All-City Play Day

Tuesday was Ankeny's second annual All-City Play Day. If you've never been, add it to your to-do list for next summer! We had a great time!

The boys started w/a big wheel race!
We ate some pizza, Kade did some football kicking, and then we moved on to soccer!
Then we headed to the pond to do some canoeing!
While we were waiting in line, Kaden ran in a kid's race around the pond.At about the halfway mark...
...2/3 around...
The boy in front of Kade stopped to walk frequently, but whenever Kade would catch up to him he'd take off again. Afraid to get beat by a 5yr old. :)
Almost done!!!
He made it!!!!
Here are a couple pics just to give you an idea of how far he ran. I was impressed that he pretty much ran the whole way. I think he stopped to walk once, but that didn't last long. He was exhausted, but did great!
Getting on Life Jackets
Canoeing was quite an experience--Kaden even got to row!
Then we moved on to tennis. Josh and I were both pretty impressed w/how well Kaden did!
Cam watching Kade
After tennis we headed to the water fights put on by the Fire Dept.
The kids got to use the fire hoses for the water fight!
Getting Wet
The orange cones mark the "goal". The kids were trying to get the goal past the other person's cone.

Here is silly Cam when we got home. He's got his beach ball that we got at the Play Day and in his shirt is the squirrel he got from McD's earlier in the day. LOL


It was a great evening! The kids got to try out all kinds of sports and new things. Their were a bunch of other activities that we didn't even get to. Can't wait to do it again next year!!
