What, no Olympians?

After school I took the kids to a "Meet the Olypians" thing at Darby's former gymnastics place. They had moon-bounce/slide type activities, face painting, some musicians performing, and of course various (local) gymnasts flipping out.

The kids did the bouncy things and we went inside for a bit to watch the gymnasts, but the Olypians never showed up. When we left someone said they had just gotten to the airport and would be on the way soon. I didn't feel like waiting and the place was packed as it was, so we took off (I'm not sure we would have seen them but from a far, and I'm not sure the kids really cared at that point).

We had to get a birthday present anyway for a party we're going to tomorrow for Shelby's classmate. And that worked out well, as we got home by 9:15, something I'm not sure would have happened had we stayed at the other thing, which wasn't over until 11.
