Last night for Family Home Evening we had our own Olympic games. We started with our opening ceremonies. Daddy taught the kids about King Benjamin (nothing related to the Olympics-just the scripture story we are on) and we worked on learning the 5th Article of Faith.
Let the games begin!!
The weather did not cooperate with our plans, so all of our events were moved in doors.
We had hopping races. Adam had a slight advantage there.
The Straw throw. Tessa concentrated so hard on her throwing.
Cotton ball pick up. It took Tessa a minute or two to figure out how to scoop up the cotton balls and then how to keep them on the spoon, but she got it.
An egg race. They were both so worried about dropping their eggs. I was mean and didn't tell them that they were hard boiled:)
We had lots of fun with balloon races.
We ended our games with some serious gymnastics competitions! I have some good little gymnasts.
Everyone is a winner at our house. The kids have been proudly sporting their medals since they received them!
The girls whipped up some homemade ice cream for a treat for our tired athletes and we ended the evening watching the Olympics on TV. We were sad for our men's gymnastics team, but were glad they were good sports and did their best!
Adam turned our ottomans into a pommel horse.
