Last Saturday we had a few families over to enjoy the Olympics in our own backyard. The kids had a ball playing all the different games.
First event...The Drinking Straw game. Run to the finish line with a straw between your lips and nose without touching or dropping. Kallie and Jonas tied!
Best trick on the trampoline.
The Balloon Between the Knees Race
Hug the Balloon Race
Even Cavin wanted to participate.
Decorated cupcakes with M&M's to resemble the Olympic Flag.
Next, Birdie Feather Race...tucked a feather between their toes and raced to the finish line. Silas thoroughly enjoyed this race.
Bean Toss Game
And then race to your bean bag.
Our ceremony ended and everyone was presented a gold medal(cookie) on the platform. The adults sang the Star Spangled Banner(as much as we could).
Everyone was a winner for participating!
What a great opportunity to get acquainted with the Olympic games but more important was the peace and friendship that was established here!
Happy Summer Olympics 2012!
