AWANA Olympics '08

This is Leah's first year to compete in the AWANA Olympics, and what a fun day we had! The 3rd - 6th grade boys and girls from our church that have been in the AWANA program, and completed the requirements to participate, were able to travel to the Olympic games this year and compete against other churches from the area. To be able to qualify, the kids have to complete 10 sections in their books, that consist of memorizing scripture, or answering questions concerning scripture. We had two teams out of 16 that represented our church. Both teams came in first place, which was very exciting, since Molly and Leah were on opposite teams. It is always fun to cheer for the kids (and the coaches). You can't help getting into the spirit of the games. This is Leah's first race, the baton relay.
