USA, USA!!!

We Lunts love the Olympics! So much in fact that we threw a little "opening ceremony" Olympic party. It was a lot of fun. We ate Olympic snacks, played Olympic games and even had a medal ceremony.

Here are our Olympic rings pretzels.


And next: red, white and blue strawberries!



Now, you can't have an opening ceremony without the lighting of the torch. So, we made some! We even took turns running holding the torch and then "lighting" the next persons. Although, these torches were made out of a toilet paper roll, foil and tissue paper.




The kids loved having a race to see who could put the right color M&M's on the Olympic rings.



'O' is for Olympics! The girls really liked gluing fruit loops on the letter O and Staten just enjoyed eating them.


We also did a little face coloring. USA on one side and a star on the other.


Livia won the Gold Medal for our Gymnastics competition.


And Staten won the Gold for the Hurdles race. (or as we like to call it: the Pool Noodle race)



It was a pretty fun night. Teagan was gone at a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's so he missed the whole thing. But, I did promise to repeat some of the fun we had for the Closing Ceremony.
