As the fireworks burst over the "Bird's Nest" in Beijing last night, the kids were having their own Olympics right in our backyard. We had some of our friends over during the opening ceremony to kick off the start of the 2008 Summer Olympics. The party was complete with lots of Chinese food and games. My friend, Susan, came up with all the game ideas. There were relay races of all sorts, football tosses and a "flinging disc" that went a little awry. The kids were fierce in the competitions, asking for line judges and "redos" when they thought the results were unfair. It was a hoot to see how intense they got. In the end, each of the three "countries" represented had a win under their belt and went away happy.

Looks like a great time. And what a great way to get the kids interested in the games (to do it themselves). I love it!
How fun! You have such great neighbors!
