Bailympics 2012

The second annual Bai-Olympics occurred this summer in Plymouth, MA, and four teams participated in the event.  The Bai-Olympics coincided with the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which we also enjoyed watching on TV (especially swimming!)

Here's how the teams looked.  They were pretty fair, and the events are on the poster board at the top.  Who would be the big winner this year???

Well, to give you a hint, Steve got a little extra warm up in when he was doing push ups with Grant on his back.  Perhaps this is what gave them an extra advantage???

There were cartwheel races- above you can see Ryan (who's 6'4" and still growing) attempting his best cartwheel.  Gotta give him credit, he's really tall!

The three legged race was won by LuLu and KK, but Hannah and I SHOULD have had second place in this.  If you can see behind the winners, there was some... ahem... cheating going on as someone (not gonna name names here, but she might be the sister of my teammate) fell down and then grabbed onto us so we wouldn't beat them! We were laughing so hard!!!

They should consider cornhole as an real Olympic sport.  This was way fun.  

The obstacle course was one we probably laughed at the most.  First you had to spin around on a bat 10 times, then try to run through a hula hoop and push a truck over the line, then throw a ball into a bucket.  Megan struggled with this and it was so funny to watch!!!

The cake decorating contest was a big hit, as it was last time.  You can see we have a mish mash cake, a beach theme (this was our big winner), Grant's Dream of construction equipment and rainbows, and Natalie's mermaid themed cake.  You can use any of the toppings on the table, and anything in Grammi and Bean's house as a cake topper. 

Last but not least, we have the wheelbarrow races.  I thought I was stronger than this, as we came in like, second or third.  Steve and GoGo were the big winners here, obviously!!!!

The closing ceremonies ended with the awarding of the medals.  And the gold medal prize went to KK, Lauren, Steve and Grant!  Although we were missing a teammate in this picture- GoGo!  Well no wonder they won, they were stacked!

Second prize and the silver medal goes to MOMMY'S team- Hannah, Warren, Seth and Colleen!  This CrossFit stuff really works!!

Todd, Madison, Natalie and Megan came in third place winning the bronze medal.  Natalie was not very pleased with this. 

And last but not least, the "Achievement Award" winners ("I tried my best!"), Jeanne, Carole, Helen and a missing teammate- Ryan!  The 2012 Bai-olympics was a success!!!
