On Wednesday morning we all headed over to the Park City City Park for another rousing
edition of the Crazy Olympics.
Jonna majored in Recreation Management or something like that, so she does a great job of doing these fun little things for the kids. They started out with a little stretching.
There were all sorts of races and relays- 3 legged race, sack races, crab walk, wheelbarrow, one challenge to get a garbage bag full of balloons from one point to another without carrying it, or letting it touch the ground. (The wind got in the way with that one!)
Taylor was such a sport to pair up with Graham for his own little 3 legged race, especially after Nate refused.
And it would be no fun if the adults didn't get in on the action.
(Do you see, that's me,
waaaaaaay, in the back!)
After the games we had a little picnic lunch, complete with pudding, much to Olivia's enjoyment.
And then walked over to a little playground to let the kids play for a bit. Nate still talks about this sand digging toy, and how much he loved it!
And then there were a few games that wouldn't work outside due to the wind. We came back and did the William Tell challenge (blow q-tips through a straw to knock down a cup on
someone's head.) As well as a race carrying cotton balls on spoons.
We ended the experience with a rousing
edition of
"Chicken Fat" (click for the song!)
How many of you did this in Elementary School? If I was a PE teacher, I'd totally have my kids do it today!!!! I don't care if it is an outdated
gov't directive from the 60s.
