Look! Even More!

I uploaded a few more photos. I'll try to keep dropping a few here and there.

In light of recent activities in the Midwest, Amy and I have become particularly depressed of the lack of hurricane days and protest/riot days we have received. Not a one. It rained a little today. And the power went out. But then the sun came out. And the power came back. And I was at school the whole time.

I suppose I should explain a little about Sports Day. It was supposed to be back in October, but it rained and we had to reschedule for January. The whole school (1-12) are divided into three teams and compete at the individual grade levels in different types of races. Amy and I both ended up on the blue team (that was nice) and our kids were fun. We were in second place for almost everything. Except the final race. This thing was epic. You know that game where you pass a ball backwards alternating over the head, between the legs, over the head, between the legs? We did a GIANT one. With all the 1st-6th graders on each team lined up. The race lasted forever, because once the ball got to the back, the back student sprinted to the front and started again. You had to go through ALL of your students. It was an intense half hour, but WE WON! The best part, was that the 1st graders were the last ones to sprint. When little Edwin, the final student, got the ball and started running, every single student followed him to the finish line. The giant eight grade boy on our team even put him up on his shoulders. Definitely a day he will never forget.
