Sports Day - Part 2:Lena

Yep. Friday was Lena's Sports Day. Above, she was in the Cricket ball competition. Turns out that she and her friend Eloise (in green) are two of the few girls to make the rounders team (rounders is like British baseball), and that those two are outfielders due to their good pitching arms. In this event, they are going for distance. Don't you just love the ever-so-fashionable athletic pants that the girls wear in lieu of shorts?
The fellow in the linen suit is the headmaster, Mr Whybrow.
After the sporting events (2.5 hours of them), there was a BBQ picnic on the lawn. You'd think they would be tired, but the kids started up a game of football (you know, soccer).

I was proud of Lena as she didn't finish last in any event she participated in and came in second in one race (200m). I think that she could be better if she cared to, but sports just doesn't do it for her.

When you guys head back I think you should definitely make sure the whole family goes to the local sports center in the fab underwear shorts. I mean, really nothing says "God Bless America" like a family in red white and blue speedos.
