Japanese School Sports Day (from June 09)

Yes, I am very behind in posting new pictures, so I'm going to start with June 2009. Here are a few pictures from Alex and Ian's sports day at their school. Unfortunately, Chris was TDY in Alaska, so he missed it. The highlight of the day was the relay race between Alex's class and the other Nencho (oldest) class. Alex was the second to last runner and behind the other class when he took the baton, but he was so fast and determined that he passed the other runner and his class went on to win the race! It was lots of fun to watch. I never knew that Alex was such a fast runner!
