I Love The Olympics. Really. I love them a lot. So, when a little while back we had some friends over, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the upcoming Rio games. We had four men's events and four women's events. Track and Field, Gymnastics (of course), Swimming, and Volleyball.
The men did the shot-put with a big rock from our landscaping while the women had a javelin throwing contest with a yardstick.
Next the women competed in a second track and field event: the marshmallow on a spoon race! Because half of them are pregnant, all of them were exempt from the gymnastics event:)
Followed by a men's cartwheel contest. This part of the evening was highly entertaining!
Since we weren't actually around any water or wearing swim suits, the men and women both had a breath holding contest. I happen to think the pregnant ones were at a disadvantage in this particular event, but they were good sports about it.
I didn't get any pictures of the volleyball event, but they each had to use Summer's little rubber ball from Dollar Tree and see how many times they could bump it to themselves. It turned out to be harder than we thought it would!
In the end though, there could only be one winner for the men and one for the women. They were each awarded either a gold, silver, or bronze medal, or a participation award.
They might not all share my love for the Olympics, but they humored me and we had fun!
Our spectators, however, weren't so interested. The would have rather spent time playing with each other.
Or the dirt. They really liked the dirt.
It was a great night!
