Adam's Mini-Olympics

On January 24th Adam had his much anticipated Mini-Olympics. This was a fundraiser for Casacade Community Pool, where he takes lessons. This race was the only subject on Adam's mind for WEEKS! He practiced really hard and learned a lot. He did three races: the front crawl, back stroke, and butterfly (which Adam call the Belly Booty haha!).

He finished all three races and had a great time. It was so funny because as soon as the race started everything he had learned about swimming was forgotten. In the excitement he just started flailing around for the finish line. I was so proud of how hard he tried! He even got a trophy, which is proudly displayed in his room.

These are the fellow Olympians in his age group (although I think he was the youngest). He is hidden behind the little girls head in the front row.

This is trying to organize the picture. I was so funny! They would tell the front row to kneel, and the back row would do it, too. Then they would tell the back row to stand and the front row would as well. It took a LONG time before the kids figured it out!


These are the participation trophies. (The winners got certificates as well) I have no clue why Adam is playing with his nipples...nerves? lol



Getting pumped up for the races!






Go Adam! Miss Deane, his teacher, stayed nearby to make sure he was safe.


I love the look on his face when he reached the finish line!

Showing off his trophy, before enjoying popcorn, cotton candy, and sno cones.
