Olympic FUN

 Our household is totally into this summer's Olympic Games. We have enjoyed some activities and "themed" snacks while preparing to watch the contestants compete. Our favorite events are diving, swimming, gymnastics, and volleyball. We have mini competitions throughout our day. The kids will break into teams or want to be timed for some job they do. They want to know if we had to give a score what it would be. They are in awe just like we are!
 Some crafts!
 We see the Olympic signs everywhere!
 Some healthy and patriotic snacks for the games.

 It took some convincing but the kids now know that Olympians do NOT eat "fruit loops" for breakfast. :)

We had our normal Tuesday Pool Party Playdate this week but it had a little "Olymipic Flare"

 The men's team- showing their muscles
 Showing off their star {sticker} tattoos
 Our opening ceremonies complete with flags and music
 The final contestants in the bubble blowing contest
 The balloon relay
 The girls team playing in the water relay!
The whole crew with their medals, flags, and sign! We followed up with some red, white, and blue popsicles! My camera batter died so I am thankful that a few of the other moms snapped pics with their phones. Yeah for summer fun!

So cute! We are loving the Olympics too but haven't done the crafts and snacks. Good ideas!!! I may have to whip up an Olympic party for the neighborhood gang this week. Enjoy what's left of summer!
