Celebrating the Olympics as a Family – NBC Olympics Viewing Party

The Olympics are beginning! Thousands and thousands of people will converge on the city of London and its surrounding areas to watch and participate.

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially the Games of the XXX Olympiad also known informally as London 2012, will begin in London on 27 July and will continue until 12 August 2012.

FACTS ABOUT THE 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS

My family loves the Olympics. We hosted our very own opening ceremonies party where we (pictures are in order):

1-2. Played Badminton

3. Did archery. Although they sent us a Nerf set, my daughter loves the thrill of a real bow and arrow.

4. Played Croquet.

5. Had a water balloon toss.

6. Played Twister.

7. Had a contest to see who could squeeze the most lemons and then made fresh lemonade.
