Sports Day

Matt's school had their annual Sports Day two days before Spring Break.  It's a fun-packed day filled with field games, races, gym events, and revelry that the  kids look forward to all year.  It brings out the competitive side of our son.
The three-legged race is always a hoot to watch.  Matt & Chris fared pretty well.
The parachute is always a favorite.  I remember it when I was a kid---that was the best day at PE.
Matt had a good cheering section for awhile---I stayed for a bit until it was time to go to Bible Study, and Steven & Tim stayed long enough to watch the baton relay before lunch time.
Here's Matt getting ready to receive the baton.
And here's a sample of the race.  You may remember the crazy dance he did last year, but this time around he was much more composed.  As if he was trying to suppress his excitement and play it cool.
Ms. Sanderson's class!  Yes, Matt's the only one not wearing a smile on his face.  And no, there were no winners or losers---everyone won.  This lasts until the the 3rd grade, and then there are ribbons awarded and actual 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners!!  Yay.  Matt can't wait for that.
