Toddler Olympics

Saturday we had a fantastic activity at the home of my friend: The Toddler Olympics! It was so much fun!! This will be a mostly picture post, so enjoy! :)

First, we have:

What's a Welly, you might ask? Well, that's how they call rain boots in the UK! :)

Josh had a powerful throw!


Andrew wasn't sure what to do...


And the wind up...


Yea, Louis!


Next:


Josh picked up on this one quickly...


Claire looks like a frog...


Andrew and Louis took a few minutes... :)


Here are two events:


Getting ready for the Egg & Spoon race! All lined up!


Josh and Sanders are off! Why are they both looking back and down you might ask? Well, apparently, Claire and Cecelia misunderstood and thought it was an Egg TOSS, not an Egg RACE, so on the word GO, they simultaneously tossed their eggs into the air! What a riot! :)


Our Fearless Face Painter, Jaime! :)


A few shots of me getting my face painted...


She had the coolest face painting kit: Complete with pencils, paints, glitter paint and even stencils for perfect stars and hearts! :)



The finished product! :)


Devin got one too! Very patriotic!


Claire got a pretty pink butterfly! (Josh got a dinosaur head, but he was always running so fast I don't think I got a shot of it...)


Next Event: (This one is running in a straight line across the lawn with a yummy chocolate cookie in hand to give to mom at the end! Of course, I didn't actually eat the cookie, I had to give it back to the kids. Claire ran so fast across the grass that we didn't get her picture. She just wanted to get to me as fast as possible so she could eat her cookie!!)


Josh is running in a very straight line! Go Josh!


Almost there!


Come here, Andrew!!


Andrew made it! :) yea!


Another fun Event:


Jump!! Pop those bubbles!!


The Last Event was a whole family participation one! :)


Here's Josh after going through the obstacle course a few times...There were tunnels and bridges and water pouring down and flags and even a giant parachute (which was actually a mosquito net, and I found that to be very appropriate! :))


Through the Marathon!


Awards!!


Andrew wins!


So does Josh!


Even Claire wins!

(And the best thing about these 'medals': They were edible! Mmmm! Lollipops for everyone! And the guy giving out the awards: The British High Commissioner! Cool, eh??)

Yea, UK! :)


Andrew is enjoying his Award!


Our fearless Leaders! :) Thanks SO MUCH, Leonora (and Jaime and Giles and Louis)! It was SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!


Fantastic Food! (And it was here that I found that there is CHEDDAR CHEESE FOUND IN YAOUNDE!! HEAVEN!!)
