Matt was running in the 1500m men's race (for teaching staff, not students!). The 'field day' concept extends way past elementary school in this country.... and it really truly is a great day for just about everyone on campus.
The kids and I settled in to a spot in the stands with a group of Matt's students. It's fun for me to meet them, and they seem to really enjoy hanging out with the family.
Luke kept telling this girl, "My Daddy just running round and round out there" but I'm not sure she understood a word he said! It didn't seem to matter much, his white-blond curls charmed her regardless of the significant communication breakdown :)
The view is always better from the front row, huh?
Matt didn't take first place but he surely had the best fan club out there! After a bit we headed over to the practice track/soccer field area. I grabbed some lunch items from the school cafeteria and the kids roamed the wide-open spaces.
All in all, a pretty good way to spend a Saturday morning.
