Dynasty Field Day Recap

On Friday, April 1st, CSA Dynasties gathered on Tech Green to battle each other…in field day activities! We hope you all had a fun time playing these games with us, as they were very entertaining to watch and participate in. For more amazing photos of the day, check out our Dropbox here! Big THANK YOU to Zoë A. for taking these lovely photos.

To start, we had the three-legged race. Dynasty members rush across Tech Green and back, hoping to be the first duo to cross the finish line.

Members of the purple team (though neither are wearing purple) are hyped for the competition to start. Their long legs definitely weren’t hurting them in this race.

Run, run, as fast as (the both of) you can!

Next, we had a balloon popping competition. Four members of each Dynasty lined up to prepare for the relay race: the first person would run to the chair on the other side of the field, sit on the balloon to pop it, and rush back to tag the next person. How hard could that be?

Place. Sit. Pop! Easy, right?

Forget about hand-eye coordination. How’s your butt-balloon placing coordination?

These participants run for the chairs, fight for a seat, and sometimes fall out of one.

Can’t pop the balloon by sitting on it?? Eddy says just use an earring.

Let’s take a break after all those intense events. Participants were able to enjoy a snow cone (thank you, RHA) between activities and rest in the shade of our tent.

Finally, the big finale, tug of war! This final activity definitely made for some of the best pictures (and the sorest muscles…you guys are so strong). Spoiler alert: black team wins this event!

Due to a lack of team members, teams Purple and Yellow teamed up to defeat a common enemy. Unfortunately, team work did not make the dream work, and several members were left injured :(.

The faces and strength of champions! Everyone is a winner in our eyes 😍.

Loser’s Bracket: Team Blue is working hard against Team Purple-Yellow.
