Last Saturday was CCSI’s annual Sports Day. In Japan there is a week in the fall and the spring where the whole week is devoted to practicing for Sports Day. It ends with a day long event in which families come out to watch their children compete. CCSI’s Sports Day was less intense (thankfully – because Aisan (Japanese track primary teacher) and I were in charge of putting this together along with the help of my brother-in-law Mark). We had a fun morning of three-legged races, waterballoon toss, and some fun Japanese games that I can’t spell. Both kids and adults participated and it was fun for all!
Getting excited for a big day!
Early morning stretches
Water balloon toss
Instead of potato bags, we had rice bag races
Wheel-barrow races
Friends and snacks
I will not even attempt to explain this one.
Praise God for fellowship, fun, great weather, no injuries, and many smiling faces!
