makarios olympics!

this past monday was the DR's independence day (feb 27th) observed, which means no school! for the day, erika and chris decided to go all out planning an amazing "bonding day".. "staff development" if you will. what did that mean?

makarios winter olympics!

we started the morning with some worship songs led by our very own jody chance and revealed our decisions about what we are doing next year (who is staying/going after august- more on that soon..). THEN we drew names for teams, made our team names, made our flags, and.. let the games begin!

meet TEAM JEHOVIA.

meet TEAM COLMADO. (yeah that's right.. and you should have seen our flag and mascott..)

three-legged egg carrying race = hard!

haha we really tried so hard!

chris and erika planned all sorts of incredible games..

• pin the winter object on the olympic rings
• 3-legged egg race
• pictionary
• winter grams (think word making race with banana grams pieces)
• limbo
• singing bee (finish the lyrics)
• water balloon distance throwing contest

end of the day with our PRIZES

so who won??
ok the way the points worked out the last event (water balloon chunking) would determine who the overall winner would be. team jehovia won that one so they had more points total.

..so maybe team colmado lost the last event which technically means that our overall point score was lower BUT out of the 7 events we TIED one AND won 4/7.. if you want to look at it by number of events won, i guess you might have to go with the colmadoians.. :)

maybe i am just a liiiiitle bit competitive. just a little.

well played, everyone. well played.
