Day at the Park: Reliving Glory Days

It has become an annual tradition to take one Saturday in the Spring, get together as a staff for a picnic, and force the end-of-the-year rush to wait...just for one day at least. Last Saturday we did that. We had real American hot dogs and hamburgers donated by a person who loves us. And after 6 years as a successful school, we treated ourselves to a new purchase...a good ol' gas grill! We had so much fun, and I've got some fun pictures to share the next few days.

After eating our (real) hamburgers and hot dogs, we kicked things off with some touch football. Soon we drew a huge crowd. Turkish kids were all around us, watching, fascinated by this game where you actually touch the ball with your hands!

I was fascinated by the two 40-something year old ECS grads, reliving their glory days.

I must note, that, this photo has not been touched up in any way. He DID catch that ball. Touchdown!
He quarterbacked for awhile...
Can you spot the two big boys reliving their glory days?
Ok, and I laced up my tennis shoes, too. What's the good of being a little sister all those years, with a big brother who taught you how to draw plays on the palm of your hand, if you can't join in? By the end of the day...my nickname was Smokey Joe.
More tomorrow!

I absolutely love the picture with Mr. Campbell and Mr. Lundy! They both look like they're going to push everyone for their ball!
