Olympic Gold & Happy Kids

I was planning to write about our compound Olympics which were held last weekend, but my neighbor also keeps a blog and she beat me to it...she also is an amazing photographer so please don't expect my future photos to be as amazing as hers!  Here is the link to see our compound Olympics..The event Dawn forgot to write about was the adult scooter race (which was Kelly's idea)  We have a good slope to our driveway and scooters are tricky on bricks, so our neighbor Matt took an epic wipeout which was captured on video, we plan to still laugh about it years from now when we meet up with their family, they are headed to Poland for a few years, but who knows where they will be down the road!

Our buddies the Bodenhofers arrived safe & sound last night and we all had big grins at the airport!  We met them with a stuffed Dora the Explorer hanging on a stick & a big sign saying Dora Welcomes You to Africa. It is a family joke from a few years ago when Eric went on a rant making fun of poor Dora...
We took them to a cool restaurant called Carnivore where you try all different types of game meat.  Jake tried Zebra, Warthog, and a few other meats.  The best was at one point the guys were carving meat all around Eric and he was saying there was flying meat everywhere! (They slice it off long skewers right onto your plate)
Charlie, Jake & Katie trying zebra...

Our kids have not stopped smiling and laughing!  Charlie is in absolute heaven to have a big buddy here, he couldn't wait for him to wake up this morning!  We have a long list of places to take them, we can't wait!
