The Little Athletics season started a couple of weeks ago. Clinton has been taking Harry because it's on a Friday night and goes too late for Sienna and Alissa. Mum and Dad kindly looked after the kids so that I could go to Little Athletics last Friday. It was a competition night, which just means that the times and measurements are recorded. Instead of it being a case who came first, the children get a ribbon at competition nights if they beat their own PB's. Harrison did shot put, 70 meter sprints, hurdles, 200 meters and discus. I'm really proud of him for giving it all a go! Sorry for the bad quality photos - action photos in the dark are not my forte.

Throwing the shot put
Clinton was helping to take the measurements and then was asked to help the kids with their technique. He was actually a really good teacher...all those years of high school athletics has paid off!
Stretches...
Harrison loves hurdles. Clinton was good at hurdles at school and Papa Snow was so good at University that he was offered to start training for an Olympic squad. He said no because he knew it would take up too much time while he was studying.
