Olympics

We have loved watching the Olympics. We were pretty sad when it came to an end. We even made the rings and had them on display the two weeks. Then we each picked a country and kept track of their gold, silver, and Bronze medals. It was lot of fun. Cameron choose the United States and Kennedy was Italy.

Then we also had a fun Mini Olympics BBQ in the backyard, with the Weddle's, Stanton's, and Papa and Grandma. The competition started with the javelin, followed by dribbling and shooting the soccer ball.



Then, they swam across the kiddy pool (it was a long swim)

Followed by some gymnastic skills. A somersault on the Pilates mat and a few jumps on the trampoline.




Then, it was on to basketball.



Lastly, and probably my favorite part they all ran around the backyard with their flags that they made.


Brooklyn and Gaige totally collided. Pretty funny. They are tough kids and were just fine.

We then had a medal ceremony where they each received a gold medal and a boutique of licorice flowers.
GO USA!!!!
