Rose Family Ping-Pong Tournament

Last Christmas, the kids received a Ping-Pong table, Pool table and Air Hockey table. They have been enjoying these new toys immensely and are feeling quite proud of their improving skills. Well, since we were short on time today for a little adventure away from home, and in the spirit of the Winter Olympics starting today, I thought we would have a Rose Family Ping-Pong Tournament to get us outside and moving. After much laughter over Scott's bouncing form and Greg changing the color his paddle showed after each hit (red then blue, etc.), it came down to Scott vs. Kara. Kara is quite the competitor and wouldn't let Scott's antics ruffle her feathers, winning the final game and becoming the overall winner and earning the "Skill Award"! To make things a little more fair for Lizzie, we added a running race too. Lizzie set the course in the back yard and her agility and speed over the obstacles earned her the winner of the "Speed Award." It was a fun break during the day!
