Closing Ceremonies for the First Annual Larson Family Pentathlon

With four Gold medals and one Silver, Scott is the overall winner of the 2008 Larson Family Pentathlon. What a great competitor! Scott earned the honor of having his name engraved on the side of the Larson Family Pentathlon Winners' Cup. I made sure they left plenty of room there for MY name to be added next time... This officially closes the Larson Family Pentathlon Games! Thanks for tuning in!

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!
