5th (I think) Annual Jordan Family Campout

Friday night we hosted all the Jordan kiddos for a campout in the backyard.  I think this is the 5th summer that we have done this.  I cannot remember for sure if this is the 4th or 5th annual.  Maybe the first one was not until 2009...all I know is that I was not good at taking pictures the first couple of years.

Last Year's Theme was "Amazing Race", the year before that (2010) was a kickball tourney and in 2009 I believe we had an obstacle course.  So in honor of the recent games, this year's theme was "Jordan Family Olympics".

Here are all the Olympians before their fierce competition:

Warming up on the swingset.....

Miss Tatum loved cheering all the big kids on.

The opening ceremonies:)

A Photo finish in the 100 meter dash......Tony won the first heat by a hair.

The older boys warming up for the "shotput" (AKA Softball Throw)

 Trae-Dogg throwing the discus (AKA Frisbee toss)

Some quick photos in between competitions

And the final competition in the Olympics was a trivia competition.  The kiddos were so smart and got NEARLY all the questions right.  They new Grandpa Jim's age, and that this year's Olympics were in London but when it came to the question about Grandma's middle name...only one team got that right.  Bernice was the correct answer but we got a great laugh out of the team that guessed her middle name was Judy...Rita Judy....that one will be an inside joke for a long time:)

What a good time to have all these kids together making memories!  We are so blessed!
