Family Olympics

Last month, we celebrated with our families by having the first-ever Family Olympics competition. Tullamore…my family...were the gold medalist in the competition! Thanks to their team captain, who was none other then ME! All of the families worked extremely hard for this first annual Family Olympics. We held trials to find the most qualified team to represent each family before all meeting in the gym for a final run to see who would take the gold. The teams entered the gym with their families in the stands cheering for them! The captains led their teams to behind the different colored balloons that matched their fimily colors, and the volleyballs were then handed out to the front of each line. Over, under, over, under, and then back again was what needed to be done! If you dropped the ball, you had to start over again..and then they presented us with an extra obstacle (as if the pressure wasn’t enough) - we had to do this with only one hand! Long story short, Tullamore took the win and were awarded the gold medals in the final ceremony. This event was one of the most fun that I have ever had and I’m sure that anyone you ask will say the same!
