Despite threatening to rain all day yesterday it held off and we managed to stay dry for the Fun Club Sports Day. The ages groupings was slightly different, which meant that both M & K (who actually took part in one of the events!) were in the 7-9 years category. Both girls took part in the sprint (of about 50m), they were in different heats (M came 1st, K 2nd) and in the final they were 2nd & 3rd respectively. M also did the sack race and struggled a bit with the heaviness and size of the sack, but came a creditable 3rd. She also wanged a welly, although how far, I don't know!
Later we met up with friends, A is 12 months younger than K and were they in school would be in the same year as M as one of the oldest in the year with M as one of the youngest and her mum R. Rain was still threatening but again held off and we spent a lovely couple of hours after A had finished school at Rushcliffe Country Park. We spent most of it in the area called 'Gibby's Wood', where there are some lovely very large wooden sculptures of small animals (fortunately K is no longer terrified of the snake, needing to be led by with her eyes closed and even walked along it like a balance beam). R & I say on a bench and chatted while the girls all disappeared into wooded parts looking for adventures. I don't think they found any, but they had great fun looking for them! Then after a quick play in the playground, it was time to head home before hungry and tired meltdowns occurred.
