2021 Doll-ympics Games

[Lejays17]

The dolls (and us) have been having a great time watching talented people play a variety of sports for the last 2 weeks, and the weather was nice enough yesterday for them to stage their own event.  we've tried to cover a bunch of different events with props we already have - I wanted to do cycling, but Elfy thought the ice-cream bike wasn't really suitalble 

Jo-Meg is very passionate about the softball/baseball - she was delighted that Japan won both the softball & baseball (she would have preferred if the Aussie's could have won a medal, but it wasn't to be.


She's going to practice a lot - she won't be able to play in 2024 (Paris isn't having softball), but there's a chance for 2028 in LA

(this is one of my favourite pics I've taken this year   )

Maeve enjoys a round of golf, and wants to know where she can find the super-cool bucket hat that Hannah Green wore in the tournament



As a bunny, Finn thinks that the jumping - especially the high jump - are made for him.  He's not as organised as the Aussie jumper who won silver, Nicola McDermott - who writes a score in her notebook after each jump about how well she does.


Yari was delighted that there was "Spear-throwing" in the Olympics - she is determined to find Kelsey-Lee's "brother" Greg & have words about taking the last piece of beef though



Hattie & Lizette enjoy a spot of badminton between tea-parties


Cherie & Opal participated in the show-jumping, and agreed that the "sumo" wrestler at one of the jumps was quite a shock to see

Surfing & Sailing are always popular with the family - Nyxie isn't allowed to compete in the swimming events so surfing is the next best thing.

The diving inspired Bea a lot.  Becky was very taken with Tom Daley, who was photographed/filmed knitting in the stands watching his fellow divers.

And finally, the whole lot in the yard.
