Sports day!

In the beginning of spring, Olivia's school has a sports carnival. It is all day and the parents bring a picnic and come to cheer their children on. Last year Olivia placed in most events which was pretty impressive. This year she did every event with her best friend Andrea who she promised to stick with so she wouldn't have to come in last alone. It was pretty cute!
Olivia and Andrea waiting for their turn!
Space hopper race!
Andrea just fell off her ball...
Olivia waited for her...
starting up again!
Coming in together!
Hooray Olivia! I had so many parents comment on it as most kids don't have a friend to wait for them if they fall down!!
Getting ready for a running race!
Check out that stride, again right next to Andrea!
And Skipping...cute hu!
Sack race, this time she got separated from Andrea into a different heat and started to care about winning!

First...but she wasn't exactly hopping...does shuffling in the bag count?

Kosh ball and spoon race!
Second!!

Hi Olivia,
It sure is having nice having a very best friend (Andrea), isn't it? She is lucky to have you, as we are sure you are to have her. You have so many nice events at school. Almost makes us want to be in school again.
Lots of love, Gr-Gr and Gr-Gr Tengelsen

Olivia is adorable! I think it's cool that she actually waited for her friend. Also, do you remember telling me that Thomas was skipping already and I believed you? That was before Tyson could even walk! That picture just made me remember that and laugh! I love you!
