Yogi Olympics

This past weekend we were able to go to the campground again for the Yogi Bear Olympics. Gabi was excited because the boys are always getting awards and medals for wrestling and she wanted to try her hand at winning one! There were several games on Saturday...The Power Throw (who could throw a ping pong ball the farthest), Test of Balance(relay race balancing a marshmallow on a spoon), Kick of Strength (who could kick their shoe off their foot the farthest), and Run for the Distance (relay race). They broke the games up by age groups...ages 4-7, ages 8-10, ages 11-13, ages 14-16, and ages 17 and up (so even the adults could get in on the fun). Gabi placed second in Test of Balance (should have gotten first but the person watching didn't see she won...but that's okay) and Ben got first for Kick of Strength! Gabi was very proud to get a medal and a certificate for her achievement. Unfortunately for us, our weekend was cut short because of the rain. It started downpouring at around 1 am on Sunday morning and didn't quit. We had to get up and leave by 1:00 pm anyways (Gabi had Emma's birthday party to go to later) so we decided to get up, eat breakfast and head home. We were home by 11:00 am. It was still nice to get away and it was fun to watch Gabi get "coached" by her big brother (Trenton). Tyler had stayed with my parents so he could go to practice first thing Saturday. He met up with us at the campground late in the morning and was able to watch some of the Olympics. All in all, it was a good weekend, as always. Check out all the pictures here.
