Tug-o-War

Every year at Ethan's school they have a Spring Fling fundraiser. It's my favorite one. There is no overpriced wrapping paper or frozen pizzas to buy. Just a good old fashioned fun day for these kids. This year the theme was the Oregon Trail. They got covered wagon rides, watched a rodeo demonstration on roping cows, learned to line dance (I really wish I could've seen that) and played carnival game. Oh, yeah. And the fundraising part is a walk-a-thon. They walk around the school several times.



Anyway, they always end the day with a series of tug-of-wars between the grades, and the winning class of each grade gets the traveling trophy for the year.

This is serious business for Ethan. So here he is, fighting with all his might. And, please, zoom in so you get the full effect of how hard he's working here.


But...they lost anyway.
