Pie Eating

The last event of the Larson Family Pentathlon has taken place.

Sizing up the competition. On your marks, get set...Scott had an incredibly effective slurping technique.

A little product placement...

Our 90 second time-limit at it's end. Seriously? Did he eat the WHOLE thing?

That puts the final medal count at:

Scott: 4 GOLD, 1 SILVER
Lesley: 1 GOLD, 4 SILVER
Ian: 1 BRONZE

Song Writing

With 11 votes for Song B, Scott's Ode to the Larson Family won the Gold medal by a landslide.

That puts the medal count at:

Scott: 3 GOLD, 1 SILVER
Lesley: 1 GOLD, 3 SILVER
Ian: 1 BRONZE

Only one event left!

BOWLING!

Last night the bowling portion of the Larson Family Pentathalon took place at AMF.

Scott bowled 115, with several spares and a strike! Lesley started strong (with a spare in the first frame) but ended up bowling only 98. Ian was obsessed with all the "baaaawws" rolling around, and clapped every time we knocked any pins down.

Scott took the GOLD in bowling, and Lesley took the SILVER. Because Ian showed up to this event, he gets the BRONZE medal. Our camera gets DQ'd for not having working batteries at the bowling alley.

That puts our medal count at:

Scott: 2 GOLD, 1 SILVER
Lesley: 1 GOLD, 2 SILVER
Ian: 1 BRONZE

Stay tuned for results from the Creative Writing and Pie Eating events later tonight!

So, when the Lar-son Fa-mi-ly
gets together, it's a par-ty

Our com-pe-ti-tion can get quite fierce,
but our sense of fun is hear-ty!

Min-i Golf, Pie-eat-ing, Scrabb-le,
plus some song writing and some bow-ling,

We both train all year,
when we com-pete,
it's for the Gold!

We talk smack, but it's all for show -
'cause it's the Lar-son Family Pentathalon!

Les loves Scott, as well as their tot,
His name is I-an, he is so cool,

Les loves Scott as well as their tot,
They'll have a-no-ther in October

Work or play, they'll have a great day
It's all the same if they're to-ge-ther,

Watch our fam-'ly grow!
We will be strong!
And we all know --

We'll raise our fam-'ly e-ter-nall-y
Be-cause to-ge-ther we want to be!
