jane's sister and family came to stay over the weekend and as has become traditional, we held a sports day.  (the picture above shows the three legged race)

things warmed up with the cheerleaders doing their hoolah hooping

bother-in-law kev spent a while geting in to the zone and wasn't going to be moved by the pre-match frivolities

before we knew it the egg and spoon race was underway

the oldies showed the youngiest how it was done

it mostly seemed to be about the level of concentration

there were other games involving water, which eventually broke down in to a sponge water fight

bother-in-law (bil) kev threw himself (and his sponge) in to it

but ultimatly the excitement was too much for him

and he ended up with a soggy face (this looks quite impressive big so click for full fun)

people them moved on from sponges and simply started chucking water at each other

as james decided it was time to sit somewhere a little drier.

finally we hung some doughnuts on a washing line which were to be eaten without touching

sarah's string was longer than the other's and it was dangling in the middle so she had the hardest challenge.  i like how the blurred background on the picture above makes her look like she's breathing fire (a bit)

anyway, sarah stayed well in to the night after everyone else had finished trying to eat her doughnut.  which she managed in the end.
