Annual Summer Olympics

Every summer since we have lived back in Texas we have done a summer Olympics at my parents home. The kids are pretty competitive, so they really look forward to competing with their cousins. 

We always start with the kids making their flag and the Olympic theme song.  

They were pretty creative with the flags.

We headed to the pool and did some events there. Ella won the freestyle swim and Ella and Cavin tied on who could float the longest. Caden won the race with the noodle and Charlotte the junior division.

Cavin and then Coleton got the hightest on the coolest jump, Caden and Ella won the tallest and biggest jump/splash. We also did kayak races with my dads kayaks and Cavin won by 3 seconds over Ella's time.  

They love being together at the pool!

When we got back, we did some outdoor events. Caden won the javelin and Deacon won for the junior division. Caden won the shotput and Crew won the junior division. Channing won over everyone in the archery and then a couple had enough energy to do the shooting event. 

We had lunch, watched a movie, and had an awards ceremony. It was much more low key this year, but the kids still had a good time and we kept the tradition alive!
