Grasshopper Olympics

Saturday Jacob and Ella competed in the Grasshopper Olympics.  It is a city sponsored event which begins with the "Running of the Grasshoppers," which is a parade around a local park with all the olympians in their green shirts.  It is open to 2-5 year olds and is a series of 9 events that they must complete in order to get a sticker for their name tag.  At the end they have a little awards ceremony where they all get a ribbon and a prize.  This year's prize was a frisbee.  At the end we all headed over to the city pool for a picnic and a swim.  Ella was a little shy and slow to get going at this year's Olympics but once she got into it she really wanted those stickers.  Jacob was all about being the best and getting it done the fastest.
