Today was Aleena's Olympic day at school. The pictures are here.
It was pretty fun. Aleena's best friend is a girl named Makala. Her teacher told us that ever since Makala started attending Magic Years in November, the two became fast friends.
Aleena's class competed in quite a few games. One involved parents dragging the kids in a laundry basket hooked up to a rope. There was also a tug of war at the end with all the kids.
The best part of the day were the races. They paired up the kids in her class and had them race around the field. Perhaps not surprisingly, Aleena and Makala were paired together. When the race started, the started running slowly next to each other, each turning their heads and giggling. After the first turn, the two stopped any pretense of running, and started walking together while holding hands. Everyone watched and laughed as the two meandered their way to the finish line.
The two legged race was also cute. Once again the two were paired together in the first "heat". They strolled around the cone at a nice leisurely pace, finishing after some of the participants in the second heat. While they didn't win the race, I'm pretty sure that no-one had more fun.
