Frost Family Olympics aka FrOlypmics

If you looked up the word Frost 
(as in my maiden name, 
not the actual word)
in the thesaurus
you might find next to it
the words:
competitive, rivalrous, aggressive, unpeaceful, contending....
you get the idea.
We like ourselves 
some "friendly" competition.

So,
when it was realized 
that we would have the entire Frost clan together after 5 years,
we had to incorporate a day 
dedicated solely to the spirit of competitiveness.

We started off the day by loosening up 
with a soak in the pool,



and winding down with a little R and R.


after which,
 was followed by 
fraternizing with some of the other teams.




Don't let the friendliness fool you.
When the games began, 
it was a dog eat dog world.  
Every team (family) for themselves.  

The games included:

"A Bit Dicey"-  Balance 6 dice on a popsicle stick held by your mouth.
 "Breakfast Scramble"- Assemble the front of a cereal box that has been cut into 16 even pieces.
 "Caddy Stack"- Stack 3 golf balls, 1 atop the other.
 "Separation Anxiety" -  Separate multi-colored candies into individual cups.
 "Face the Cookie"-  Using only the face, movie a cookie from the forehead to the mouth.  
"This Blows"- Blow 8 cups from one edge of the table and off the other side.
 "Dizzy Mummy"- Unwind a roll of toilet paper, by executing a series of 360 degree spins. 
  "Movin' On Up"-  Player must hold a stack of cups with one different colored cup at the bottom.  Player must move cups one at a time from the bottom until the different colored cup makes it to the top.
And a sprinkling of relay races smattered in-between.



When all was said and done, 
second place wasn't too shabby,
 especially with this as a prize.

Go team orange!
