As USA swimmer, Michael Phelps, made Olympic history last night, Madeline was involved in her first water relay yesterday. The first game involved running with a sponge, dipping it in a bucket of water, running back to the start line, and squeezing the water into the bucket. Whoever had the most water in their bucket won. Madeline's team did not win, but she had a wonderful time. I didn't know that she could be so competitive!
In the second game, the team was divided into pairs. They had to place a water balloon between their backs, run it down to a certain point, and then run it back without letting it drop or burst. They did really well! What a good technique to interlock their arms. Kids are so smart!
