On your get set-GO!!!!!! This was the first event of our first ever New years games. We had a long distance race. It was about a half a mile long.
Spear throwing!
The winner threw the spear 46 Meters! That's 151 feet!
The Rungu throw. The same guy that won the spear throw , won the Rungu throw. He won from 25 feet. To win he hit a 4 inch square target on his first throw! Hope I never make him mad:)
The games were for the adults of the community, but the kids made great spear retrievers.
Yes this is me holding another mans hand. It may seem odd to some and to be honest still seems odd to me. Here in Kenya it is a sign of friendship. It is not hard to see 2 guys walking down the road holding hands. I had just gave this guy his second place prize a blanket. The prizes were 1st place a Maasai knife second place a blanket and third place some phone card minutes.

I can't stop laughing! Sorry, its not funny, but yes, really it is!
Shall I warn my husband before you come home that you may want to hold his hand after you bond over a super hero movie or video game?
Seriously, that looked like a lot of fun. I'm guessing those guys ran the half mile in like 2 minutes.
Does learning to hold men's hands mean that you wont be so afraid of hugs when you get home? LOL
Sounds like lots of fun! I bet they had fun!
Also, wanted to let you know, AnnaKate and I will be baptized this Sunday! We are excited and wish you could come. My dad will baptize me because he's an elder, and Mr. Jeff will baptize AnnaKate!
