Spirit Week - Military Monday

This week is "Spirit Week" at the MK schools. For the high school, today was Military Monday. We all wore our best military uniforms.

Here we all are: Quinton, Jo, Jessica, Cilla, Me, Katie


















And now we have...

Commander Quinton
































Lieutenant Josiah































Jessica the Marine































Sergeant Cilla































Officer Danielle































And, of course, the teacher: General Katie































Our activity for the afternoon was Boot Camp... a very dizzy relay race, which included spinning



















running


















push-up-ing


















wheelbarrowing



















And some falling



















and goofing.

Here is Aunt Gail:



















Here's what the material looked like at first:




















And here's what it looks like now!




















I did get more pictures of the process, they are in my picasa album... there are some in the April album and some in the May... sorry 'bout that. :)
