2012 KKK School Cross Country

I LOVE our KKK school Cross country! It is the true meaning of Cross country. This year our kids were more prepared with what it was all about (ISS didn’t have cross country events). Kawea led his race only to be beaten in the last 100m to come second. Nauvoo came 8^th, and Hikawera came 2^nd!. Kawea went on to go to the district trials and came in the top 8. He was  supposed to go to regionals but has had a lot of ‘class’ time out of school with the Oliver production and was fighting off a cold so we chose not to send him along.

I love these photo’s . Here is Holly one of Nauvoo’s Netball buddies – snoozing under her book in prep of the run.

Here is Kawea running his race,

The mud trail they ran through, They literally run through the country – paddocks with cows and all.

See what I mean about the mud!

Nauvoo and her ‘inseperable’ friend Neive. So cute to see them together.

After the run, on the way home, we drove past the front of the school and saw Hik playing with his mates. It was so funny to watch. They would race around the playground and then do this HUGE pile up on the slide. Laughing histerically at each other and groaning everyime some one else joined the pile up. It was great to see him in action with his mates, we don’t get to see that very often!!
