South Dakota Olympics

At the end of July a good friend held an Olympic Day at her house with lots of Olympic competition for our kiddos!!
They began the day parading out representing the USA in their London Olympic T-shirts!




Ema with her "game" face on!





Ana was still very unsure what was happening....Explaining the Olympics to our kids proved to be a little challenging....This would have been the first one really that any of them understood or cared to watch.


First competition...the water balloon toss...I think it was determined kids this young may just be a little young to actually understand how this should work....

But fun, none the less.....
 Next up, the "Javelin Toss" (a.k.a - shoot this gun thing and see how far the arrow goes)......



Third competitive event was the PUMPKIN SEED Spitting contest.....What...you don't recall that event in the Olympics...you must of just missed it!


Final Event.....Over-filling a cup with water to make the ping pong ball fall out....much harder than you would think!!


All the kiddos waiting patiently to hear who "Medal ed" in each event....



All the competing athletes....amazingly everyone took home a medal!


 And all the mama's that helped pull off this grand event!!
