Cousin Olympics

After enjoying 2 weeks worth of Olympics, the craze continued!! The boys, mainly Mason, planned an entire day of Cousin Olympics! They planned and planned and planned- so much thought and detail went into their events. While they wanted the Olympics to last three days, we reorganized and made it a one day event!
It was Team American Cheese vs. Team Canadian Bacon!
There were lots of events, such as (nerf) archery, (nerf) shooting, fencing (with pool noodles), 800 (ball game), track and field- short and long distance, swimming relays, rowing (on rafts), gymnastics (on the trampoline), badminton, and I'm sure a few more that I can come back and add if I remember. It was a blur of events that day to say the least! But what great sports and what a GREAT time!! Each event had a medal winner, whether it was a team or individual. PawPaw was the medal giver. And a few national anthems were played during those medal ceremonies. Overall, it was a fun day with cousins doing fun things outside! Can't beat that!






Team Canadian Bacon took home the most medals and were the overall winners of Cousin Olympics!
Both teams put in their best efforts and are all winners in my book!!!

Olympics!!!!

We LOVE the Olympics!!! Back in 2004, Levi were just fresh in our dating relationship and watching the Olympics together made for great ice-breakers when it came to hanging out. Ever since then, the Olympics hold quite a special place in our hearts! Winter and summer alike! However, we get really really excited for Summer Olympics! The boys didn't remember anything about the Olympics, so we wanted to make the opening ceremony night something to remember!! I got the basement all ready for our watch party! We all wore our red, white, and blue and enjoyed the show!! While they didn't do as much event watching as I'd hoped (maybe if the men's gymnastics were shown more often), they did enjoy a lot of what they saw. They liked keeping track of the medal count on my phone as well! 
USA! USA! USA!
