Okay, guys. My parents have thrown some pretty awesome birthday parties in the past for the kids grandkids. But this one was by FAR my favorite. And the kids agreed too – by the end of the day, everyone was saying they wanted an Olympics party for their birthday too. 😉
Gammy came up with the theme and their house seriously morphed into a host country. It was hilarious and awesome!
The boys were ready and raring to go early that morning.
Apparently, the “USA” tickled. 😉 Ha!
We got to Gammy’s house and everyone checked in and got their official shirt and name badge giving them access to the grounds. Ha!! The boys were eating it up.
Jon, Nathan and Parker were Team USA, Gabriel, Uncle Bryant and Aunt Nicole were Team Italy, Gammy, Pops and their friend Mariah were Team Germany and Aunt Cayce, Eisley and I were Team Great Britain. 😉
Gammy even made Olympic Torch snacks. Seriously. It was amazing.
Great Britain made a solid stand for Cuteness during the Opening Ceremonies. It was hilarious – they had the official music and everything and had the teams follow a path around the yard. All the adults were dying.
A little congratulatory hug between countries during the relay.
We had four events – A relay race, an obstacle course, a Nerf Gun range, but my personal favorite was the Equestrian Race. HA! It was so awesome!!
Pops was the honorary judge so y’all know that absolutely zero medals were handed out to anyone older than seven. 😉 They even played the country anthems for the gold medal winners. Awesome. Sauce.
Someone was very worn out. Mostly because he got so into the games that he wouldn’t stop running when he reached the finish line. 😉
We ate our victory corn dogs and macaroni and cheese (requested by the birthday boy) in the Olympic Banquet Hall. 🙂
Oreo Smush Take Two. Best birthday EVER.
SUCH a fun party!!!
