Let the games begin!

We are so excited for the Olympics to start tonight! It is truly amazing the amount of time these athletes have trained and the energy they have put into their sport in order to get here, not to mention the insane amount of money too! Every athlete has a story and I love hearing about the barriers they've overcome and about each triumph!

For the next 16 days, my family will be watching as the best of the best compete for gold medals. Some of our favorite Olympic summer sports include: Gymnastics, Swimming, and Running...What are some of yours?!

GO TEAM USA!!

We made Olympic ring art with toilet paper rolls!

Brynn quickly got the hang of it!

Our final art work!

Next, we made red, white, and blue bracelets!

Yup, we all made one!


 We gathered leaves to make our own Laurel Wreaths!

I just thought this one was too cute not to post!

 Our own Olympic race!
