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.
