Larsen's European Vacation - Day 10 - Kauppila

Second day of the Olympics: Ping Pong and Run & Swim


The morning walk was so lovely and peaceful.


Alex joined us with the motorbike.


Ping Pong games started. Everyone played against each other.


Alex is full swing.


The olympics judge is giving her congratulatory speech to the winners.


PING PONG - Winners: Jake and Rod. Jake didn't lose one game. He played left-handed against me and still won.


Next sport was Run & Swim. Rod is running 100 m to the lake, then jumps in the water and swims 25 meters and then runs back.


The teams gathering for the winners' announcement.


RUN & SWIM - Winners: Kalle and Kimmo. They beat Jake and Rod by 4 seconds. The official Olympics clock is behind them.


We all voted for the MVP and Jake won the MVP trophy (yes the yard mushroom) and 31 euros. Congrats Jake. Great athlete.


The olympic teams for a final picture.


On Sunday night we went next door to Uotila to see Maritta and Antero.


My cousin Pauli came to Kauppila to visit us. So great to see him.


Then it was time for Jake to go drink some ant pee. Lick a stick and put it in the ant hill.


Then shake off the ants.


Then drink the ant pee off the stick. Repeat.

Alex going for seconds.
