Family Reunion 2012

This year it was my family's turn to plan our Johnson family reunion. We decided since the Olympics were going to be starting this summer...we thought we'd have the USA TEAM JOHNSON FAMILY OLYMPICS.

We had the Honorable Olympic Judges begin the opening ceremonies.  They explained about the first summer games, and the games that are currently involved.  We then took the Olympian pledge about upholding the spirit of the Olympics, playing fair, and being a good sport.  The torch was then carried by all the members on the USA TEAM JOHNSON that were present.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Our 1st event was "cross country skiing" where we had 2 teams at a time all working together.  This was tough to keep all 6 team members on the skiis, and to manuver down  the course. This was certainly a teamwork game.

We must have been having so much fun, that I forgot to take pictures of the javelin throw, archery and basketball events. 

The Hurdles were a huge hit!  Blake didn't think the hurdles were high enough, so he was jumping over the chairs in the middle, and was clearing them with no problem.
