Why are the Olympics only once every four years??? Although officially the Olympics are over. we have several swimming and gymnastics events recorded and the kids could watch them over and over! They were even pretending to be Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky the other day! Back up two weeks....we went to a friends house for a super creative opening ceremony party. Each couple invited brought a dish to coordinate with their assigned country. We had Japan and I could not think of a good dish to make so instead I made a meat/cheese plate to look like the Japanese flag!
There were lots of creative costumes, dishes, drinks and even nail art!
We may have overstayed our welcome just a little haha!!!
Every morning the twins watch the main events from the night before while eating breakfast. They are very into it and ask a ton of questions.
Last weekend my brother came to visit. He usually comes and stays at least a few nights every summer. We used to call it "camp sissys house" but not that he is 16 thats not as cool haha! These two were super excited to have him come visit.
We got him all his favorite food and candy and made a fun weekend around his requests.
Ellie and Graham helped me make mint oreo ice cream.
Ryan took Jake to play golf and we had lots of ping pong tournaments the first day.
Friday night we went to a new(ish) bounce house and basically had the entire place to ourselves.
They even had a 30 min night time bounce where they turned the lights off and gave us glow sticks....best.night.ever.
At night we played ping pong and watched the Olympics.
Saturday morning we hit up the pool.
Ryan and Jake stayed to play golf while I took twinkies home for a nap and then we all went out to play 9 holes before eating dinner on the patio.
Not sure if you can see well in this picture, but Bobo brought his pretend kitchen phone because he wanted to be able to take pictures at the golf course.
At the first hole Bobo ran around the cart and got out his fake binoculars (he thinks it is a rangefinder). We all cracked up when he handed Ellie the real one and they both looked through them to see how far it was to the hole.
Ryan has always loved golf, but I just adore how much Graham loves it too. He talks about golf non-stop and gets giddy when he gets to go too. Luckily he is sooooo good on the course and Ryan is able to take him alot.
This spunky girl is more into driving the cart and coloring the course map.
We watched movies and ate a lot of junk food Saturday night. Sunday we made a big breakfast and ran a few errands before Jake had to leave. The twinkies just love their Uncle Jake so much.
I am actually taking the kids to my parents house this weekend because as much fun as we had with just Jake, it made us miss the rest of the gang!
