After being so inspired by Michael Phelps and the Olympic in Bejing, we decided to have the Zachary Family Olympics for the second time ever. Sarah Beth led Emma and Lily in making medals for us on Sunday afternoon. They were really cute and I thought pretty inventive, using things we had around the house. Zack was out of town and Taylor was working for the beginning, but we had so much fun. We had a lesson about being and acting like Daughters and Sons of God. We all have that inside of us, and because of that, we have potential to be like Him. I am thankful for that knowledge and hope that we were able to teach the kids about their Divine Heritage. Then, after the running with the torch, let the games begin.
Team Flying Eagles--Sarah, Whitney, Gwen, and Brad
Team 2--Evan, Mary Catherine, Sarah Beth, and Lynetta
Team 3--Katie, Emma, Lily, and Alex
Team 4--Taylor, who took GOLD in the bubble gum blowing event!
Everyone went home with medals. We had the hula hoop pass, the paper airplane toss, the Lifesaver pass, and the bubble gum blowing events. Thanks to our friends for having fun with us.
