Sochi in our family room

Olympic fun continues.

What started with this bobsled a week ago



became this last Sunday

Sunday afternoon Olympics


It's the entire winter games in our family room!




David and Mary spent the afternoon building the Olympics.




And playing with the Olympics.



Uncle Daniel was here visiting.  He is a huge fan of the Olympics, so it wasn't hard to recruit him to join in.

And when I say they pretty much made the whole winter Olympics, I mean it.



You can't have the Olympics without a torch.



The kids included the medals podium, of course.

Complete with medals.



There was an Olympic village, with transportation to take the athletes to their venues.



Some of the events (with spectators!) that David and Mary built were

figure skating

alpine skiing and ski jumping

Can we get some gold medals over here for Olympic spirit and creativity in the face of a boring Sunday afternoon?
