The Girls attend their first Mini-Olympics

Posing at the entrance

I did not know quite how to explain it to them...Last Thursday we headed towards the aquatic centre where the girls attend swimming lessons. But rather than going to the swimming pool as we usually do on Tuesdays, we were heading for the gym to attend a special activity set up by volunteers. The girls had never heard the term "Olympics" before, but they quickly picked up on the fun. There was the opening ceremony, followed by a number of sports including ski-jumping and curling; and it ended with an awards ceremony. All in a non-competitive environment geared towards 3-6 year olds. Thankfully they allowed our two year-old to tag along!
