The Opening Ceremonies were held at the pool (after a couple of the kids completed a torch relay through base housing). They had a few silly competitions at the pool before the actual "games" throughout the two weeks. Noah had a great time on the inflatable airplane :)
This little girl kept wanting me to take pictures and videos of her, haha
We knew one of the challenges was going to involve shooting baskets so we went over to the basketball courts one morning to practice. Noah and Daddy ended up spending most of the time racing across the court! Noah currently is obsessed with racing. He will get into "racing stance" and say, "Ready, set..." but he waits for one of us to say go, haha.
Noah also had a good time "running" with the jogging stroller
One of the competitions involved hitting some softballs in the FREE batting cage we have on base! Noah had a great time with the helmets :-)
Safety first!

The Closing Ceremony
Ely and I both got second place overall for the males/females respectively based on our total scores from all the events! Not to brag, but I actually tied for first! Unfortunately for me, the tie breaker they had us do was a swim-off (right after the other lady had just kicked my butt in the swimming competition!) :- P Ely and I each also won individual gold medals!!! We had a great time and won some gift certificates to the restaurant on base!

Apparently, Noah decided he was the ultimate champion!!!
Look out Michael Phelps, Noah is coming for your medal record ;)
