Last week when the two baby dolls were taking a nap, I made up some games for the kids to do in the backyard. We have been all about the Olympics, so I tried to think of some competitive, fun things I thought they would enjoy.
We started with the frisbee throw. We had to have a lesson on how to throw it, but once we got past that, we were golden. :)
And yes, this was coming right at me!
This was by far the favorite of the day. We did a race with water. Fill up cups out of a big bucket and try to fill up a smaller bucket up to the line before the other person. Lots of running back and forth. They loved it.
Aaron and I played too. What I learned: my husband is a cheater! Don't worry, I doused him with water for it. :)
A challenge to see how far we could kick soccer balls.
And last, but not least an egg race. The kids did pretty good. After they raced a couple of times, I decided we should do an egg toss. Aaron and I got pretty far apart before it broke on Aaron.
A casualty...
It was a fun time in the backyard. One of those times I wish I could bottle and open up to enjoy at a later date. :)
