Sports Day

I know this will be hard to believe, but - the weather man was wrong! Again! All week the forcast for Sports Day was sunny, and then this morning he changed his mind, because it sure wasn't sunny when we woke up! But, seeing as this is the last Friday of school, there wasn't really anywhere to postpone Sports Day too, so we had it anyway.

Wouldn't you know, the first station they went to was the Freezie station. Freezies in the rain. It was a good thought. A freezie at the end of a long fun day of running in the sun would have been very refreshing, but first thing in the morning in the rain wasn't ideal.

After freezing with Freezies they did ring toss and then a water relay race. Again, had the weather been nicer this would have been more enjoyable. But the kids didn't mind so it's all good. It's officially summer now anyway, at least according to the calendar. You might not know it to look outside. There was the Grab-everything-you-can relay, Sack Races, Pass-the-Baton relay and the Shoe Scramble. On wet grass. Soggy socks anyone? The kindergartens got an added bonus of getting to stay at school all day for Sports Day. Who wants to go home early when there's more fun to be had? After lunch the sun did try to make an appearance, and when it did it was quite warm. There were more water-relays, a bouncy-castle thing, more freezies, sidewalk chalk and very fun-looking red bouncy ball things you ride on. That looked like the most fun of a very fun day.
