It was held at Grammy & Granddad Ramsey's house since they have the most room outside. When we got there, Cody helped pin on every one's Olympic number.
Lindsey helped paint the kids' faces with Olympic symbols!!
There were torches, the Olympic rings, "war" paint, and USA!
Most of my parent's grandkids. (The younger ones anyway.)
Dianna was the master of ceremonies. She got things done with her mega-phone!
Lily, Camden, Ares, and Johnny ran fast!
I love the look of fierce competitiveness on Camden's face!
After the race they got their medals from Grammy!
The second heat was Kael, Alyssa, and Riley.
Last but not least were the oldest kids; Cody, Cooper, Carson, Zach, and Taby.
Since it was super hot, it was time for a water break!
The next event was the egg race. These brave 3 & 4 year olds carried real eggs and raced to the finish line!
They all started off really slow, then decided they could walk fast/run.
It was fun watching them!
Next was the Olympic ring toss!
Next was the Olympic ring toss!
We took a break from the events and took pictures as Olympic medal winners!!
The next event was one of my favorites to watch; potato sack races. Since you can't find potato sacks anymore, my mom sewed some up for us!
Taking a break from the heat, we went inside and played a mystery game. Each child was blind folded and they had to guess what was in the bowls in front of them!
The three-legged race was next!! This was my other favorite event. It was so funny to watch them try to run tied to another person!
Popsicle break!
The long jump was after that. The older boys did really well in this event.
The little kids didn't quite get the concept, but they tried their hardest anyway!
And were cute while doing it!
The last event was the obstacle course.
They had to run around trees, go down slides, jump over tubs, go under boards, spin around a bat, and go down a slip in slide!
Thanks for all the great pics Jenny! It was Super fun! The only thing I would change is doing it in early summer when it is not 105 degrees outside :0)
