Children's Day

Here in Mexico we celebrate Children's Day. It is a day where all the kids are honored and get to have fun...at school.

They have races, prizes, water slides, lunch, and lots of fun.

Here is a picture of Alex's school class. They were getting ready for the Potato Sack Race.

Here they are in action. Alex is in the lead.

Don't know how she ended up with the 2nd Place ribbon. Oh well.

Everyone was nice enough to let her race even though she has been home schooled this year. I am so glad that she felt included.

Alex and Monet were partners in the Wheelbarrow Race. Alex was holding Monet's feet. Soon after the race started Alex was running faster than Monet could keep up so Alex took the lead and pulled Monet BEHIND her. Poor Monet!

Tori and her friend Katie were cheering on Alex.

Alex was SO excited to be partnered with Bobby. He is her first love. Here they are before the race....LONG before the race.

Everyone was at the starting line. Read. Set. GO!

Alex and Bobby had the lead. Then...some how...Bobby became airborne. They tripped and fell...coming in at 3rd. Bobby's head caught the fall. He was brave.

Here is Tori's first race. She was the first off the line.

Tori has superior strength. She flew through the Wheelbarrow Race. It was her partner that couldn't keep up. Next year.

Tori and Katie practiced for the 3 Legged Race for weeks. They truly earned FIRST place.

Here is Tori with all her ribbons. I was very impressed with my children's athletic abilities. Good job Girls!!
