The First Annual Arielympics (still on Day 3)

Ariel, the baby of the family, had some games all planned...we dubbed them the Arielympics! I am pretty sure Ariel and only Ariel could get EVERYONE to participate! Good job Ariel...I believe Melodie and Rachel also helped a lot...
Anyway, she had lots of fun field day type activities planned and it was a lot of fun. Although, I did find out quickly just how much of my muscle I have lost...wow...
Here are some fun pictures...a lot, again...sorry



Mom got attacked by some little ones....so she wasn't gonna let them get away with that!
Then of course...Andy had to get attacked...we missed that kid!
Andy, getting attacked again...really, he brings it on himself!!!
I had to throw this one in of my brother-in-law Tom...love the leg, Tommy!!!
My cute Dad...I think he ripped the towel out of my Moms hands!
Ooooh...almost caught it!
Madi and I made a good team, if I do say so myself.
Um...my Mom really gets into this stuff...not only with CHEATING on all the other games...but almost throwing Lily along with the water balloon...just teasing Mom...Love you!!!
The balloon that Ariel and Melodie threw on this throw...HIT ME!!! Lucky for them I have cat-like reflexes...well, not really, but at least my camera didn't get wet.
This was the pass the egg game....which again, my Mother and her team CHEATED!
We really had so much fun though! Thanks for putting it all together!

The one where Brent and the kids almost caught it, did you notice Madi in the background? She looks like she is floating. It looks cool! And I love that one of Tom! You got a lot of GREAT pictures!!!

I am really glad Ariel took the time to put this together (with Rachel and Mel's help). I think it was awesome!

We didn't CHEAT on the egg game. The rules were ambiguous, and we just got in the spirit of the game and won. I'm sorry you're jealous of our winning abilities! We did 100% genuinely win the water balloon vollyball. No one can dispute that!

I'm glad you put in that pic of Tom...hilarious!

Thanks, Ariel and helpers! You did a great job of putting the games together!

They were very fun, thanks Ariel! I got a little worried with Sean and Andy...they both can get pretty intense when it comes to fighting...once they knocked over a book case that held videos and mom and dad's house...

I love the one with mom hurling Lily in the air! She does have a competitive streak!
