Tsunashima Undokai(Sports Day)

Something a little different this weekend!

Rather than go shopping we spent Sunday at a sports day held at a local school- Monday is Taiiku no hi, Japan's National holiday for sports/health. Lots of
children running around and John also entered into a couple of events for Green Surround City- the tug of war and the assault course relay race.













Sadly in the tug of war we were two men down and replaced them with ladies and despite a valiant effort the lack of weight meant we lost in the first round. In the assault course relay we did a bit better coming in 3rd. Not sure how the scoring worked but G.S.C. is the number on the far left- so we were a distant last by the time we left.

As you can see from the video it was a vintage performance from John- high speed running but got caught in the net and then too fat to get into the sack quickly....never mind maybe we'll do better next year.

Archie only wanted to play at the back of the school and maybe he thought he was being abducted by a fat alien- in the end he was quite grumpy- oh the joy of a 2.5year old!

Millie was not too fussed by the events and even the loud music blaring out everywhere didn't seem to bother her!
