3rd Annual Yard, err, Indoor Olympics

By Courtney 26 Comments

This weekend was the 3rd Annual Yard Olympics! Unfortunately, some rainy weather put a bit of a damper on the whole “yard” aspect of things. Luckily, we have some quick thinkers in the group and we were able to move the Olympics indoors.

There was frisbee, basketball,

darts, and beer pong.

IMG_8067IMG_8068

And this year, everyone was able to complete the games at their own pace, rather than play with a partner like we have in the past, since there are now a gazillion kids and babies running around.

The theme continued throughout the party…

And we now even have an official trophy to set on top of our podium!

IMG_8061

And, hey, would ya look at that…

IMG_8063

Not to brag or anything. Mwahaha. Winking smile

The cool thing we were all talking about is that there are 16 slots available on that trophy. So in the years to come, I’m sure we’ll have some of the kiddos’ names on there, too. Crazy to think about!

But in the meantime, Lucas is still uninterested in the games and is cool with just hanging out with the toys and the boys instead.

And his mama, too, of course.

IMG_8078Woah, blurrrrry photo

Towards the end of the evening, we were greeted with one of Andrea’s amazing ice cream cakes.

(Seriously…they’re the BEST).

And then we had a quick awards ceremony before the child was about to have an “I need to go to bed NOW” meltdown.

Dun da da dahhhhhh! And the winners are…

IMG_8088

For the third year in a row, I took home the gold, baby!

IMG_8093

Don’t worry Jay, bronze is still great. Just not as good as gold. Bahaha. Winking smile

I just love my friends. Seriously, they’re the best.

What did YOU guys do this weekend? Anything fun and exciting??

    This is so fun! Love that you were able to move it inside and still have fun. It’s crazy to think kids will be participating before that trophy is filled! My weekend was filled with fall like temps, making relaxing amazing, and a cookout at my aunts. It was pretty perfect!

    Wow, you are quite the athlete! I love that you have this annual gathering. I love having events, holiday parties or just get togethers with my friends.

    Looks like fun, as always! I drove out to Iowa this weekend to hang with my blends, which just fantastic and fun, as to always be expected. We played Cards Against Humanity, hit up the Farmers Market and wine tasting, and just enjoyed each others company. No complaints here.

    This is so fun! I did a beer Olympics for a friend’s birthday party earlier this year, although by the end, I don’t think anyone was truly keeping score. Yours looks so organized! Congrats for the gold again!

    You guys seriously know how to have some fun!!! And I have a feeling Lucas is going to be really good with those games. My weekend was so blessed since we had my husband’s parents visiting from out of state. Seeing them shower some love on Selah melts my heart~but it’s always so hard to say “see ya later” (aka today). Anyway, have a beautiful start to this fresh week Courtney! :)

    The biggest excitement in my weekend was that my daughter’s two teeth finally came in after months of bulging gums and sleepless nights!
