Waiting for their race

We spent 8 hours yesterday in the sunshine (it was 30-C) watching 2 of our grandsons compete in state-wide finals of Little Athletics. Both did quite well achieving personal bests or improving on their PB's and may have got a medal - we had to leave to vote - it was also our state's election day.
Dick is back there at the Athletics again, the boys have 2 more events each to compete in today. Parents are called on as volunteers during the day, but Grandparents can just sit back and enjoy watching which enabled me to wander around with my camera.

Here we have 2 of a long line of competitors waiting for the 700-m walking race to begin - one of them is our youngest grandson aged 9.
