This year's Back to School Celebration was themed after the Summer Olympics which our kids just loved. Each night, they would ask if they could watch a little of what had gone on that day. Of course, the girls' favorite was gymnastics, but Ryan loved it all. We had a great discussion about doing our personal best. Going for our own personal "GOLD". We ate items that day from the top 5 Countries in respect to medals won. It was a fun day!
In case you can't read it, we ate German Pancakes for breakfast, then they kids went to Taekwondo. We had British Sandwiches (they wouldn't eat mutton, so we had ham and cheese) for lunch. Then we went bowling, swimming, and rested while watching a few recorded olympic events. We topped the night off with Beef Stroganoff, Rice, and all-American chocolate chip cookies.
I made Gold medals for each of the kids, and here is Ryan showing his off after Taekwondo!
Here is Chloe sporting hers after an awesome game of bowling (she did score her personal best, too)!
And watch out Michael Phelps because Callista has mastered the pool this summer, and chose to show off her Gold medal after she swam her laps in the deep, 4 foot, section of the pool! She can't touch though, so to her, it is REALLY deep!
Our hopes for you Chloe, Ryan, and Callista are to have a fun year while learning new things, and
making/developing friendships!
