Annual Summer Olympics

Each summer my parents put together a summer Olympics that my kids really look forward to. This year my parents hosted the event on July 25th. We went to Spring Creek Park to start the events. The kids started with the flag ceremony and Olympic march.

They used the flags they made last year and took a stroll to the music around the park.  

Here they are warming up! 

They did a short dash and a long dash event.

We did the javelin toss.

Next a disc throw.

Then and obstacle course. 

Ella loves competitions ;) ok not really but she was a good sport about it. 

Then we headed over to the pool and did a few Individual medley races.  

Then the kids did jumping through a hoop and water volleyball or a game where you had to keep the ball in the air. 

They had a great time being together and jumped in and played afterward. 

After lunch, showers, naps, and resting, we did the award ceremony. 

Caden won the Olympic gold, Cavin the silver, and Channing the bronze. Ella was great at the swimming as she is an awesome swimmer, and Deacon did really well in the obstacle course. It was fun to watch the kids have fun and compete. I am grateful my mom and dad are willing to host. The kids stated that after the 6th year this is one of their favorite summer memories with the grandparents.
