Quite a while ago I found these cute gold, silver, and bronze rubber duckies at Michaels. I knew we had to find something fun to do with them. So today we held the family winter olympics. We challenged the Painter and Bohrer families and the games were on. The Bohrer family even showed up in dressed in the same color! Impressive!
We started with opening ceremonies with the olympic torch and since we're all American, the playing of the Star Spangled Banner
The Build a Snowman race was next. Wrap your snowman in a roll of toilet paper, add a scarf and buttons, fastest racer wins.
Ice cube curling - We also had ski jumping on the Wii and snowball toss using marshmallows.
There are 9 kids between the 3 families. That makes it easy with 3 divisions with 3 kids each. No one takes 4th place in our olympics!
Our little kids division: Rachel - Gold, Josiah - Silver, Hayden - Bronze
The middle kids: Emma - Gold, Lauren - Silver, Jacob - Bronze
The big guys: Aaron - Gold, Bryson - Silver, Abbey - Bronze
..and lots and lots of fun!
