Mountfield Primary School's Fun Run

Julian's school Mountfield Primary did a Fun Run yesterday afternoon to raise money to buy books for their library. I emailed colleagues and friends to ask for contributions. I asked people to give a few pence for him running one lap and that if he ran more than that I would pay the amount people contributed for each subsequent lap. I was excited for my boy. Fortunately for me and my wallet the school stopped the kids at one lap. As you'll see in the video the run was a lot of fun, except maybe for one kid that gets trampled during the stampede. Also Julian didn't know he was only doing one lap so he was holding himself back a bit too much. Enjoy the pictures and thank you for your support.

Here's the lineup before the start. Julian is wearing the green shirt.

And they're off.

We went to the National Railway Museum in York. Julian had a great time.

Ice cream on the beach.

Not quite sure what's going on here.

You get one of these with each visit (not the child!).
