Opening Ceremonies....

The girls had this plan to all look the same, their shirts were tye dyed, their flip flops were *stripped* with fabric, their heads with head bands, their necks with beads, they all wore black shorts....they were all to look alike. So that the crowd knew they were a team. This is our 3 headed there....
serious faces
We all got there a little early...it was 100 degrees and they all climbed into the back of the car, into the air conditioning....


again...a different angle...




~M~ found some hair on her chin...we thought we better pluck when we returned to the motel :~)
Dressed and ready to go exchanged team *pins* with the other girls....
B, Peanut, and little M
An older brother, J was forced into attire as well. He really didn't want his picture taken.
All of them....
~C~ and ~M~ clowning. We were wondering how C ended up with the necklace, he said, "oh, the girls put them on me!!"
Parading through the crowd, that is peanut holding the banner on the left.
They did some foot races after the extremely long wait for our barbecue dinner...the girls wanted Peanut to do it "because she's so fast". She told them, "I am not that fast, you guys are just lazy!!" But, she got beat by this lovely young lady. Peanut tried hard and made her hamstring sore. Not good!!!
The line for the barbecue was up at this building above the four fields. So we trotted up there and we were in line for what seemed like an eternity, it was an hour perhaps. We realized that several people, like whole teams, were passing us and getting fed!! What was that all about. So we finally go and investigate to see that there really is 4 lines, not 1! So we joined up in another line and got us some food! We will know better next time, if there is a next time. ;~)
