Bradley’s first sports day

Posted in Uncategorized Tags: Bradley, Photostory, school

Today’s was Bradley’s first ever school sports day… the first of many. I know I moaned on my other blog about the school not giving much warning about today’s sports day, but I managed to make a plan, and I was there!

It was so sweet! They only do ‘proper’ races from next year, as he’s still in Grade 00, but the school involved every year in their sports day. For his age group, the kids just had to do a class relay race. The whole class stood in a row, and the first kid had a bean bag. That kid ran and then passed the bean bag to the next kid when he got back to the line. The class that went the fastest won.

And they all had such fun! And so did the parents. LOL! I was so busy cheering Bradley on when it was his turn, that I didn’t get a photo of him running towards me!! I’ve only got a photo of the back of him

It’s crazy! I’ve got photos of all his friends from the front! LOL! Oh well, at least I (and Lance and Connor) was there to cheer him on… it meant the world to him. He had such a big smile on his face when he saw us there.

The photo of Bradley running took me back to my own school days. For a moment I could feel what he was feeling – even smell how the air smelt back then.

Now THAT is what a photo is meant to do to you!

It’s great that you could be there for this important day Don’t worry, I have SO many photos of other kids scoring tries and almost none of Quintus. The excitement is just too big

Sports days are so much fun. When I was still teaching it was one of my favorite fun days. Like others, I love the running away shot too.

Shots from the back are the best! They tell the story.

Sports day sounds like fun. I’m glad you could be there. I missed my son’s first school program and felt like a horrible mother for weeks! Good save.

I’m with Cecily, I like the back shot. Way cool! I can feel the excitement.

Pity about not getting the front photo. At least you were there. To him it is more important than a photo.

It’s a great shot of him running away though! I’m glad you got to go and see it. Working full time I miss so many of my kids sporting events it makes me a little sad some days. Glad you both had lots of fun.
