Basketball, Cycling, and Closing Ceremonies

I forgot to blog these last two events when we did them, but here they are: Basketball: We had our Olympic basketball game the other night. After shooting a few hoops it became apparent that this might go on all night long. So us girls politely stepped aside to let the boys (who could actually make a basket) play a PIG tournament. Cameron won 3 games to 1! Way to go Cameron!! Here is Abby attempting a basket.

Kenzie gave up trying, but found she could "dunk" without the ball.

Cameron is getting quite good at basketball!

Out next event was cycling. We decided that one on one racing might be the best way to go. We made a track on the sidewalks of the park and "timed" them. (we made Abby the fastest that day)

Here is the last look at our Olympic Flame!

And now it was on to the medals!! And the GOLD goes to.... EVERYONE (well they all had to be winners!)

I am so glad that we did this! The kids loved trying out new things. Unfortunately we didn't get all the events done that we wanted to do, life just got too crazy. Or the wind was too strong for our birdie (shuttle cock for Pug). But all in all we had a great time. Now we will have to see what we can do for the Winter Olympics in 2 years...
