My children were recently inspired by the viewing of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games that they decided we needed to have a Family Olympics. At first this sounded like a great idea...until I saw the event schedule:
Hurdles, Badminton, Volleyball, Trampoline, Javelin, Hammer Throw (the safer version of discus), Water Polo, Swimming, Gymnastics, Track and Field...and the list goes on.
Opening ceremonies were held...Olympic Torch was lit and burned throughout the games. Medals were awarded...even slept in the Athletes Olympic Village.
What a great way to enjoy not only the Olympic spirit but some much needed family time. We often find ourselves caught up in the chaos of sports, school and other activities - we forget to spend time together as a family unit.
Here's to competing again in 2016! (And hoping the kids forget about the Winter Games of 2014!!)
