OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY PARTY & FAMILY ... - blog*spot

Did you get caught up in the excitement of the Olympics over the weekend?? We did!? Our friends (I showed you their lovely home tour here) invited several families over for a watch party for the opening ceremony, and threw in a little Olympic competition family style!

We kicked off the evening with a shrimp boil, enjoyed by young and old alike...

and then the games began!

First, there was the "Which Dad Can Fling His Shoe The Furthest" event...

And then, the "Blindfolded Moms Find Your Children" event...

Followed by the hard fought "Family Tug-of-War"...

The ever popular "Three Legged Race"...

And our events concluded with a spirited game of "Family Kickball"...

After the games were over, we gathered to light the Family Olympic Torch.? The igniting of the torch was similar to the Opening Ceremonies of the 1992 Olympics...fun for all!? The torch flame burned long into the evening...

Thank you to our gracious friends for such a fun-filled evening!

And, to leave you with some pretty images today, here are some of my favorite rooms inspired by the colors of the Olympic Rings.
