Summer Olympics 2008

As a way of welcoming in the Olympic games, we got together with some of our friends to have our own Olympics for the kids. I would like to thank Natalie and Stephanie for putting everything together, getting shirts for the kids, making medals, organizing the events, etc. We even had the Olympic music playing. It was such a fun night and my boys have showed everyone the medals they won and haven't stopped talking about it. The events that we had were running races, bike races, gymnastics, shot put, long jump, soccer, shooting, and probably more that I am forgetting. We had dinner and then an awards ceremony. Oh, and all of the kid's shirts were color coordinated to what family they belong to. Even the babies. It was so much fun!!

AWARDS CEREMONY:


This is a video of the kids doing "gymnastics routines". Basically they were just dancing. It is funny to see them all dancing around at once. So cute.

Wow, this looks like so much fun! What a great idea to do at a high school track. I love the picture of all three kids on the medal platforms.

Oh that is too cute. I wish we could have been there! Looks like a lot of fun. The best part is the company of such great families. We miss you all!

Angie--You should have received a special award for your gymnastics skills. Sorry we forgot about that. We will have to remember for London in four years. Repeat.
