On the last day of school Robbie ran in his school cross country marathon. A total of 3ks, which is a huge run for anyone. The weather was freakishly hot for April and the sick bay tent was overflowing with exhausted children - some before they even started running. The girls race was led by an adopted Kenyan child who came in 5 minutes before anyone, an amazing achievement - and the boys.....well, not as fabulous. Too many ran in from the finish line and straight to the sick tent, but we are very proud of them.
Each year at cross country we count Robbies achievements by how many from the end he is. Last year he was 12th last. I think that was his best yet. BUT THIS YEAR.......dah, dah, dah, dah........ 14th place - from the start. I was so proud of his efforts and caught it on camera for everyone to see. Sadly, I also caught spewing action from the two boys before him. An enlightening snapshot of only two of a total of 15 spewers.
(I'm having trouble uploading, I will keep trying.) here is a picture preview, Robbie is at the back and the boy in front is just about to spew, ewwww!!
