Family Olympics 2007

Well, my parents had the brilliant idea of starting a new tradition...Family Olympics. We had a watermelon race (where I gracefully wiped out going down hill!!), an obstacle course, money tree picking, a scavenger hunt and, of course, Aussie Tossie. No family games is complete without Aussie Tossie. Needless to say, I am quite sore. For better pictures, check out Carrie and Tricia's blogs.

Here is Eli at his nap before the games began. This is what happens when you play before you sleep and are so tired you can't quite make it to your bed!!

Picking flowers before the games begin.

Watermelon races. Running downhill with a watermelon is a lot harder than it looks.

Green Tea anyone?

Football pass.

Here is Sarah, Tricia's cousin's fiance, playing Aussie Tossie. This picture gives you a perfect image of what the game is all about. It is picking up a raw potato between your legs, carrying it down to a small bucket and dropping it in the bucket. It is very humorous!!

We followed the games with some yummy food and cake!!

Thanks, Grame and Poppy, for a fun time and for all of the hard work and creativity you put in to the Games!! We are anxiously awaiting next year's games!!!
