Olmpics- 4th, 5th, 6th graders in the academic program compete every year in sport activities. Opening Ceremonies started bright and early. They play olympic music march in with their flags and each team does a team cheer. The announcer and music play through the speakers and the announcer was so professional. It was fun to hear Blake's name announced when we were sitting in the stands or standing on the football field....so official!! Blake was on the green team. They catapulted Blake in a human sling shot for their presentation-The green team did the best, by far! :)
Here's some of Blake's best buddies--They are such characters! They call Blake "Mini" and he LOVES it!
Blake competed in the football throw, Basketball toss, 100 meter, 200 meter, soccer, baseball, volleyball, and other fun competitions. He ran hard on the 100 meter and he tied for 1st.
Austin liked watching the games. He loved when one of the kids played the National Anthem on the trumpet. He was a good little spectator.
They compete all day and at the end of the day they have an award ceremony and popsicles. It is so much fun every year. In the afternoon I helped with the soccer tournament and didn't get any more pictures. Sorry, but it was crazy, i was a refferee. I wish I had some pictures, the kids take this really seriously and get very competitive, not everyone medals. You woulda laughed at me reffin' ha ha :) Anyway, Blake's team won silver!!! Last year Blake won a bronze and gold medal, so he is sooooo happy to have a complete set!
