We had Jory's birthday party tonight. We did the 1st ever Backyard Olympics. We divided the kids into birthday "countries". We had the country of ice cream, the country of cake, presents, hats and balloons. The kids decorated white T-shirts with their country's emblem and this was their "uniform". We then had an opening ceremony where the kids paraded into the "arena" to the Rocky theme music. The kids had a great time. They did 6 different challenges (pin the medal on the Olympian, summer team bobsledding, the long jump, discus throw, ping pong ball races and jump rope challenge) and then a team relay obstacle course at the end. Jory, of course, had a terrific time and was so happy that he finally had his turn to have a big party at our house for his birthday.
I video taped Jory opening his presents from his grandparents...but Ava bumped into me and the setting on the camera switched to fast record...(I wasn't aware of this until after) SORRY! He was SO excited though....
