Jen, Dawson & Sam drove up to spend the 4th of July up in Utah as well. So on Monday we all met at Grandma's house for the 1st Annual 4th of July Olympics! We drew straws to find our team mate & then we came up with our own team names & designed our own shirts! It was awesome! Here are our teams...
UNCLE SAM & GRAM
THE CANNON BALLS
The TAMED ZEBRAS!
And somehow I didn't get a picture of our 4th team...it was Jen & Dave...GENERAL WINNERS! (sorry guys--if someone else has a picture of them send it my way please!)
Stretching good, getting warmed up....
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
Jen designed the whole thing! She is so creative and fun! Thanks Jen! What a fun tradition to start! Here is our scoreboard.
There is one event I somehow didn't get any pictures of...the grape toss. Sam RULED that event. I think he caught 9 out of 10 or something. It was awesome! Pretty sweet skill.
Croquet through the sprinkler. So fun...we all got wet!
For this event we had to launch balloons at a basket. The closest landing won. It was a lot harder that in sounds.
Sade & I were awful at this one! Dave and Jen did pretty good.
Gram & Sam launching their balloon... can you see it?
Next was the bubble blowing contest. We each got 2 big chunks of bubble gum and time to warm it up in our mouths.
I have to admit, our 1st 4 competors struggled! Grandma's bubbles were cute...Dawson's...ok, Sade was the best out the 4, and Dave....well, lets just say...I don't think he's ever blown a bubble in his entire life...and that's ok. :)
Mom is an incredible bubble blower! I have NO idea where she got her skills!
That's a pretty good one Jen!
Ca-plu-ee! Isn't that the coolest shot?! Mom totally blew us out of the water on this event!
Three in sync. :)
The next event was pie/cake eating contest! It was very yummy! Just one piece so we didn't feel sick after. These guys were so funny to watch!
Go Sade!!
Abby watched them so closely. She thought we were crazy....maybe we were!
Hilarious!
Haha! Look at Sadie! She kicked bootie!
Yes, it was 3 guys verses me. I won!!! I am woman! :)
Check out these monstrous balloons for the final game.
Mark...Get Set....Throw!!
Hiiii-Ya! Blast off ending here!
The huge balloon throw winners!
