The Barefoot Olympics

We held our own Olympics today!
DS#1 took the Gold Medal in the LONG JUMP! He jumped 7 1/2 feet! After this first event, we had to delay the games due to rain from TS Fay.







DD won the Gold Medal in the SHOT PUT! Check out the wind in her hair!









And DS#2 took the Gold in the OUR YARD DASH!





Just for fun, we had a Javelin Throw Competition, as well- but we ran out of medals, LOL!! DS#1 won that event, tough, too.

All told, we all had a great time! We learned a lot these weeks about the Olympics, their history, various sports, and sportsmanship. And we finshied our Games with ice-cream for all the winners :-)

Thanks :-) I made the medals, but Mike arranged all the games and was a great judge!
