CRAZY OLYMPICS

It's the 'ODD' year crazy olympics. After the torch run, the opening ceremonies included the 'lighting of the pot'. Quite impressive! That was followed by the competition of 3 teams in six events.
After making their own airplanes, the distance competition began. Accuracy with the airplanes was measured by throwing their planes through the olympic rings. That was followed by distance and accuracy with the 'snowballs' (shower puffs). The competition was fierce.
Other events included the javelin throw (drinking straws), the broad jump (smiling competitively) and the shooting sports (spinning wheel guns). Competitors were highly involved. The Gold medals went to the Red team although the results were very close.
After thinking about the Apostle Paul's challenge of preparing for the games, all were ready for the sports healthy snacks of fruit and cheese and peanut butter crackers to follow up the races. The fruit in Thailand is great by the way.
