Day Trip to Greece

 We started off our summer 'travels' by going to Greece! We started the day by learning about the origin of the Olympic games and then headed to the track to try out some of the events beginning with the 200m run since it was the first event ever ran.  They also tried hurdles and some jumping events too.  I tried to convince them to do it naked, but no one would do it, haha!  We then headed to the tennis courts to try out our limited skills with 4 tennis balls.  We made some gyros with tzatziki and french fries.  We showed the kids pictures from our trip and talked about all the things we saw and did while we were there.  We finished the night by watching the movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Bentley drew the Greek flag

These were actually so good, not nearly as good at the food we had in Greece, but not too shabby!

After playing tennis the first day the kids wanted to come back.  Mackenzie brought her dress and bunny ears along. Oh man, she's a character.

Hurdles

We all took turns running the hurdles.  I even took a turn, for the first time in about 20 years, eek!  Some had different strategies than others.

200M Run

Kyler lost his shoe in this one, but we tried again and everyone made it, with all their shoes.

She just kept running!

Damon does everything with his entire body!

Tennis

They were able to get a couple good volleys in 

Bentley did pretty well too!

But she also hit herself in the head too, haha!!
