I know I haven't posted about Kelsea's first day of school - mainly because the pictures are on my phone and I don't know how to get them on the computer - as I raelly have NO idea where all the cords are!
But a month or so ago Kelsea participated in her first cross country event. We were told that the kinder children would be doing a smaller run than the older ones - but didn't realise it was only like 20m shorter! It ended up being a 600m race - and I am fairly certain that Kelsea ran the whole way! Which is a fantastic effort. Chloe was also in the race and Lachie also participated which was a crack up but I'll let Steph tell that story!
It was an awesome day - the school have 'houses'and the children had made up chants and had placards and flags, it was a real race-day atmosphere.
Grandma came along to watch the girls in their first big race.
I was so proud of Kelsea - she must get her running genes from her daddy as I don't reckon I could run that far these days wqith out stopping (and keeling over)! Jared said as a kid/teen that he would run forever and never get puffed out - hopefully our kids will be like that too - I never was great at long distance!
It was so hard to get into take pictures and these people kept getting in the way- so no pictures crossing the finish line (and the camera battery died then too!)

Go Kels! That's great that she did so well. All of us were good long distance runners as kids - not so much now :)
It was a great day wasn't it Bec?
I thought it was great that both the girls ran all the way without stopping.
Love Lorraine.
