While the rest of the world is focused on the Beijing Olympics, the cottagers of Horne Lake held their own summer games this past weekend.

Undeterred by the storm clouds or choppy water, we hopped, hoola-hooped, and paddled boated our way around waterfront obstacle the course. The events, designed by Sammy, Jessie, Jarrett and Janelle, ranging in ages from seven to 10, were nothing short of fun and challenging.

Families were pitted against each other in the battle for supremacy. While some folks focused on the events, others focused on distracting each other, while still others opted for a beer. It was a hoot as you can tell by the photos shown below.

Those balloons are suppose to represent the Olympic rings. Who knew you could use panty-hose and balloons to make a ring.

Congratulations to the young organizers of this event. Their imagination and creativity made for a fun afternoon.

Cheers,

Julie
