jane’s sister and family came to stay over the weekend and as has become traditional, we held a sports day. (the picture above shows the three legged race)
things warmed up with the cheerleaders doing their hoolah hooping
bother-in-law kev spent a while geting in to the zone and wasn’t going to be moved by the pre-match frivolities
before we knew it the egg and spoon race was underway
the oldies showed the youngiest how it was done
it mostly seemed to be about the level of concentration
there were other games involving water, which eventually broke down in to a sponge water fight
bother-in-law (bil) kev threw himself (and his sponge) in to it
but ultimatly the excitement was too much for him
and he ended up with a soggy face (this looks quite impressive big so click for full fun)
people them moved on from sponges and simply started chucking water at each other
here kezia shows her airborn throwing technique whilst thomas recovers from a wetting from esther
as james decided it was time to sit somewhere a little drier.
finally we hung some doughnuts on a washing line which were to be eaten without touching
sarah’s string was longer than the other’s and it was dangling in the middle so she had the hardest challenge. i like how the blurred background on the picture above makes her look like she’s breathing fire (a bit)
anyway, sarah stayed well in to the night after everyone else had finished trying to eat her doughnut. which she managed in the end.
so, all in all, big fun had by all
