Almost 4000 miles in the car with 6 kids over 3 weeks.
But despite some of the typical, we had an incredible trip. Since I can't find the photo card from the beginning of our trip I will blog backwards.
THe highlight of our trip - and the reason we planned it in the first place was the World Dwarf Games!
WHAT!! ~
400 participants from all over the world ranging in age from 3 on up.
A week worth of sports
At MSU for the 30th anniversary
And the most amazing athletic Little People I have ever encountered.
We really went for Brahm - it's been a tough year.
We signed up Fei and Tao for the Futures division since we were there.
We didn't know what to expect, we thought little people ~ really how athletic can they be.
It was SHOCKING!!
But lets start with our littles - the futures division was 6 and under.
We did Track and Field, Soccer and Kurling.
Since this was international competition we had to make the decision in May!
We wanted to get Fei off the couch - instead she got the taste for Gold AND rocked it!
They both got medals, & made a ton of new friends from all over the world.
But I will let the pics tell their story!

 |
| Hugs from new friends - because although we were there for the sports, the friendships will last for years! |
 |
| Onto soccer - Tao wasn't the biggest fan LOL! |
 |
| His idea of running down the field was to hold his arms straight out until someone picked him up!! Pretty sure he was DONE at this point!! |
 |
| But Fei got it - Cheers after scoring a goal!! |
 |
| MSU soccer players coached and referred - UMM, yah think you could run me to the other side?!?! |
 |
| New friends became his biggest fan (ok besides mom and dad!!) |
