Olympic Medalist

We have all really enjoyed watching the Olympics this summer and supporting Team USA.


My personal favorite event is the gymnastics, but we also get into swimming and some of the track and field events too.


I feel like there have been some great athletes highlighted this year, as well as some great examples of sportsmanship.


I appreciate when the athletes win and turn around and give all the glory to God. They are great examples for future athletes to look up to as well as those of us watching.


 In the spirit of the Olympic games we made these medals last week. They are made from salt dough, inspiration here.



If you could get a medal for climbing out of the pool completely by yourself and jumping in...this little guy would be on the winners' podium. 


 but we will also accept a certificate from the YMCA for our future Olympian completing swimming lessons with the shrimp class.

  1. Precious! One day, when Owen wins himself an Olympic gold medal in swimming, you'll have to put these pictures out at his victory party :) Cute idea, Elizabeth!
