Joan Mann Sports Day

A couple of months ago, Thomas and I got a chance to be a part of an awesome day that RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall sponsor every year, it's called Joan Mann Sports Day. Hundreds of athletes get bussed in from all over England, each volunteer got paired up with an athlete, and then we got to play games all day! There was a parade, tons of games, food, and a medals ceremony at the end. My athlete's name was Jo, and Thomas' athlete was Allison. Thomas loved Allison because she reminded him of himself - she didn't like to talk too much, but she LOVED to play the games! We had so much fun, and Allison even won a medal at the end of the day!!!
