July 25, 2025 The Family Olympics

This year, we did something brand-new during vacation.

It required serious prep, including a game plan and a checklist of supplies. Once it kicked off, the event took nearly three hours.

We hosted our first-ever Family Olympics.

The lineup included a wild mix of skill and chance. A few highlights:

Ball toss into a can
Cup pong
Penny stacking
Paper airplane launch
Oreo face challenge
Balancing books on your head

Plus 15 more…

Each competition had a point system, from one to eight, based on performance. And then there was the prize. An actual trophy, engraved and gleaming, courtesy of Luke.

After the final round, a champion emerged: my son-in-law, Will. Now he’s got bragging rights for a year.

Planning is already underway for 2026.

Note to Will: check with McKenzie before placing that trophy next to the wedding photos.
