Turner Olympic Games

Turner Olympic Games-Day 1
We are on Lockdown day 12 here in Botswana. Sometimes it is quite the challenge to keep the kids busy/entertained, so when my sister in law, Tirzah, sent me these daily Olympic Game challenges designed by her friend who is a PE teacher in Raleigh, we jumped on it. Kids (and parents) had so much fun competing. Yesterday we researched the Olympics, what the rings mean, picked a country to represent, and the researched that country. 
Taylor-Seychelles (because it had a pretty flag) 🇸🇨
Bradyn-Japan (because it’s flag was easy to draw)🇯🇵
Brent-Botswana 🇧🇼
Amanda-America 🇺🇸
Ellie-the unofficial country of ‘Ellie’ 

Carrying the Olympic Torch

Turner Olympic Games-Day 2
My kids went to bed last night so excited for our day 2 of Olympic Games. Today was Track and Field day and we had a blast!! 

My observations on day 2:
1. I am very out of shape 😩
2. Ignore my out of breath breathing as I am videotaping...again way out of shape😅
3. When I think I am running super fast and still come in last place 🤔
4. I woke up with super sore arms today, I think from the .02 seconds I had to swing on a rope...again out of shape💪
5. Having 3 children, sometimes my body does things when I am competing that I am just not cool with 🤭
6. I love spending time with my family ❤️

Score board:
1st place-Taylor and Brent tied🇸🇨🇧🇼
