Future Olympians

On Saturday evening we took the three little ones to a local park. We hadn't visited this one before with them. We all had a great time. Mark took hundreds of photos. (I'm not exaggerating.) Here's a few of the better ones.

The Future Olympian Bentley




You may think he's a little young to be setting such a lofty goal as the Olympics, but the Chinese start training their gymnasts at three, so we're really not jumping the gun here. By January we have to get him enrolled in a good gymnastics program. (Kara has actually joked about enrolling him in gymnastics this coming year. She's afraid he's going to damage his neck with his wild tumbling stunts off the couch.)

Viva and Jake are still a little too young to be able to tell what their athletic strengths are.



I'm hoping for some kind of brother-sister act.


Unfortunately, I don't recall too many male-female teams at the Olympics. The Beach Volleyball was single sex as was the synchronized diving. Ah well, I'm sure the training schedule for any Olympic sport would severely curtail one's childhood.

GREAT photos! I love the last one of the twinks looking each through the hole. So cute!
