Athletics carnival

After being postponed for a week due to wet grounds, the boys athletics carnival went ahead this morning with blue skies and warm sunshine.  The Walker clan were all decked out in green to support Sam and Ethan's house colours.  First up was Ethan in the 6 yr old 70mtr race, after a slow start he passed a few runners and came third.  Yippee!!!   


Next was Sam and his valiant effort in the 200mtr race for 9yr olds, I think he ended up with a few 10yr olds in his race as they were taller and faster and I didn't recognise any of them from his year.


He did much better in the 100mtr race, he and his best friend Lucas were battling it out for for 5th place, both with big grins on their faces......Sam came 5th.


Then while the older kids raced, the junior primary had their novelty races, egg and spoon and sack races........ 


............crab walking race, hopper balls, relays and other ball games.  I think they had lots of fun with their class mates.  


When they finished a race they all got a sticker to put on their bit of card pinned to their shirts, by the end of their races they all had lots of stickers.  Meanwhile Toby was just hanging out with his truck and digger and being generally very cheeky.  


After Sam and Ethan had finished their races and had lunch we could sign them off with their teacher and come home early. We made a little detour to the Pokemon card shop to buy Toby's first pack of cards (he's been feeling a bit left out lately) he managed to get two cards that Sam and Ethan were drooling over.  It was a good thing we came home early as the beautiful sunny day turned into rain and thunder by 2pm.
