The Games Of The 4th Olympiad

Noah decided he wanted to have a "sports" themed party....we expanded on it and and made it an Olympics themed party. The kids seemed to have fun. We had events which included the discus (aka Frisbee throw into a hula-hoop), the 100 meter dash, the triathalon (aka crawl through a tunnel, run backwards, and then run forwards), and a ball on spoon race (not sure what that should be called). Here are some pictures from the Games.....they ended up backwards for some reason. Oh well.
So, here is a picture of Noah's cake made by Auntie Cindi....I'm not sure if you can see it but she made a podium with three guys made out of icing on it....plus olympic ring cupcakes and medal cupcakes (gold, silver, and bronze). Thanks Auntie Cindi....as always it was amazing!
After the Games were over we had medal ceremonies with gold medals given to all the participants. Here is a group shot of all the kids with their medals (except Isaiah who tried to eat his and wasn't a fan of having it on his neck).
This is a shot from the 100 meter dash.....Noah's pretty quick. I guess that's what happens when you turn 4...you get faster!
Isaiah and some of the younger Olympians preferred the triathalon....mostly just climbing through the tunnel. So much that they just kept budging and climbing through the tunnel.
Finally a shot of Noah and the "Ball on Spoon" race. It was a great Olympics and thanks everyone for participating. It was amazing to see the difference between Noah's 3rd Birthday and 4th Birthday....last year he wouldn't venture downstairs till after the party had started and this year he was right in there. My baby is growing up!
