Lucy, my younger daughter, recently had field day at school. Field Day, for those who don’t recall, is that late spring school day when everyone gets to go outside and participate in athletic events. What great fun to get out of the stuffy school building and run around in the sun.

Well, it isn’t all fun, according to Luce. Here’s what she wrote:

Field day is the most fun thing ever but you have to be careful because you need to stay hydrated at all times. Today I was walking out to the bus. A kid was not hydrated and he threw up everywhere. But other than that it was an O.K. you have just got to remember to drink a lot if you are going to play a lot.

Stay liquid on field day. Good advice.
