Children's Day

Today was Children's Day in India. They kids get a half day of fun, games, and prizes. Chris had a bunch of errands to run and picked Sue and I up a little late. We got to school just as the games ended. But we still got to get in on the action. Sue handed out prizes, I made an impromptu speech, took 150 pictures, the teachers handed out cookies, and fun was had by all.

The kids were mimicking Sue

Whew. It took 2 hours to get all these pictures put up. In case you are wondering, here is a list of 6 things that take 2 hours to do.  

-Watch Hannibal Rising
-Swim 6,000 yards
-Listen to 31 songs
-Fly from Austin to Albuquerque-it only takes an hour, but with the time change its two
-Chew your leg off and bleed to death -I don't have any experience with this, but it seems about right
-Make grape jelly from scrach
