Playing in the Mud

Ok, so he didn't quite play in the mud, but Ike spent the morning planting rice with his classmates in the muddy fields! He had lots of fun, but despite the smile on his face he couldn't get his brother and sister to join him! Maybe next year!

All the students did a little dance before the planting.
Then they took a picture with the mayor of Hsinchu County who had come to speak to the school.

Time to get to work. They had to go barefoot because the mud would pull any shoes or boots right off.

When he was done it looked like he was wearing boots! This was definitely a great opportunity for him to see how hard the farmers around here work!
