If your kids are anything like mine, their days are filled with mimicking the sports they're watching the Olympics right now! (I might have a little gymnast on my hands.) We're not even halfway through, so there's still plenty of time to organize your own backyard Olympics! There are lots of great ideas for events online...these are some of my favorites:

Hurdles

Balance Beam 

Tennis

Javelin

And here are even more ideas...go for the gold!
