Wacky Weatherston Olympics!

Our kids have been TOTALLY absobed in the Olympics and were VERY sad that they are over for two more years! Sounds like it's time for ANOTHER "Mom-Mis-Adventure!" For Family Home Evening tonight...the 1st Official Wacky Weatherston Olympics were held!

The first event of the evening was the "Discus Throw" If the wind was good...

you got a GREAT distance *smile*

Gold Medal: KIMMY with a distance of 36'5"

(most of it by made by the paper plate ROLLING down the sidewalk!

Silver Medal: Missy with a distance of 18'5"

Bronze Medal: Stevie with a distance of 14'6" (Look at that determined face!)

Next up...The Javelin...Harder than it looks!

Gold Medal: Stevie with a distance of 24'7"!!

Silver Medal: Kimmy with a distance of 16'9"

Bronze Medal: Missy with a distance of 14'10"

Shotput...Who can throw the big fluffy pom pom the furthest?

Gold Medal: Stevie with a distance of 30'6"

Silver Medal: Kimmy with a distance of 27'6"

Bronze: Missy with a distance of 23'

Our next event was the slow-motion track race---make it down the block in the SLOWEST but yet under 1:00 time!

Kimmy was our Gold Medal winner for making it on time...but Missy was the Gold Medal loser!

Michael Phelps we're NOT! Our next event was Swimming! The object was to fill your mouth with water from your glass, run across the yard and spit it into your glass. The first person's glass filled was the Gold Medalist! Stevie was our winner!



Poor Kimmy was running down the path when her dad made a silly comment and she lost her water and tried to win the gold in the choking category! On her next run past--she made sure HE would win the gold medal in "Dad is soaking wet" category!

Next event? Weightlifting! The object of the event...Hold a 1 pound weight in each hand...who can hold them the longest without lowering the arms?

Look at those muscles! Missy took the silver with a time of 1:45!

He may look strong but he wimped out at 1:07!

Kimmy was the Gold Medalist with a forced ending time of 2:00 (but could have gone on for quite a while!)

Our next portion of the Olympic Games was Rhythmic Gymnastics! When it was your turn, you had to take the ribbon wand and twirl around and around--to see who can spin in circles the longest without getting sick or falling down!

Missy took the Bronze Medal with a time of 55 seconds!

Stevie took Silver with a time of 1:57!

Kimmy was the Gold Medalist with another forced time of 2:00 (What can I say? We didn't have ALL night--it was getting dark!)

The last event of the evening was the soccer tournament! Each person had to dribble the soccer ball around the plaground--easier said than done with the wind we had!

Stevie got the Bronze Medal with a time of 1:30

Missy took the Gold Medal with a time of 1:25 (and a handicap...we let her run the short route since she had a dress on!)

Kimmy took the Silver with a time of 1:29!!

What is an Olympics without Medals??? We took the kids to the grocery store where they could pick out ANY TREAT only if it was ROUND like a MEDAL! The two younger hoodlums chose ice cream and Kimmy picked a miniature German Chocolate Cake! YUMMY!
