Today's Happy Maker

I am stealing the name of this post from one of Matt's good friends from the trail (Appalachian Trail), Bon Bon, who frequently posts updates on Facebook that make her happy each day, including bird sightings (she is an avid bird watcher).

Today's Happy Maker: My students! How could these pictures not make you smile?!

These were taken on last Friday, which was sports day at Mannyeon Middle School. Much like "field day" back home, each homeroom class competes against each other in tug o' war, relay races, pi-gu (Korean dodge ball), jump roping, three legged races, and cheering competitions. Each class picks out a matching outfit for the event, which is a lot of fun! It's one of my favorite days of the year, and this year didn't disappoint! My kids are so stinkin' cute!!

And yes, your eyes aren't tricking you. Those are playboy bunny shirts the boys are wearing in the middle picture. Thankfully there are completely unaware what that symbol really means! To Koreans, it's just a cute bunny :)

Bonus: last Friday we had crazy thunderstorms in the afternoon so the final tournaments were rescheduled to today. Yay for no afternoon classes!
