The Melonympics

Our church recently had Melonympics, our own "special" version of the olympics. (8-12-12)

The Watermelon Roll
Elijah (whose melon was funky shaped)


Alex


Lora (whose long pony tail kept getting in her roll)


Jorja


When Pastor lined up the little-er kiddos he told Jacob and his son to hold hands.
They did, and stayed put until it was thier turn to play.
Preciousness!



It took Jacob a little while to get there (they finally moved the cone about 1' while he wasn't looking).


Next came the adult watermelon toss.


Gene and I are on the far end
Gene catching (think baby toss)
We came in second place (out of three couples).

 Then they slicked up some melons with oil for
Youth Melon Toss




(you can tell Ava practices throwing babies too! Hehe!)

Watermelon Eating Contest

(I wish I had the video for this - too funny!)
"On your mark! Get set! . . ."


"GO!"
