Awkward Mom vs. Special Olympics -Prelude

Now, that isn't a fair fight at all! Those guys are athletes and Awkward Mom is just, well, awkward. 

Awkward Uncle has gone to the State Special Olympic Games as long as anyone can remember, and no one can agree on when that started. Was it 1996? 1997? Who was president? No one knows. It is so much a part of our June plans that we are startled on the rare occasions when he doesn't win a regional gold medal and go to the state games. We simply have no idea how to spend Father's Day weekend if we aren't spending it fighting for a good view of the Knights of Columbus at the opening ceremony, racing all over campus looking for members of our party, finding a non-crowded place to eat, convincing Super Baby to please just go to sleep in the strange hotel room, and slowly melting in the humidity of a indoor pool while waiting for Awkward Uncle and trying to keep an ever-growing number of Supers out of the water. Why would anyone want to do anything else? That is the real question!

Our peeks at Awkward Uncle during the weekend are always at weird angles or across a stadium full of people. But they are well worth it! 

Stay tuned this week, Super Readers! Awkward Mom has a whole series of Special Olympic posts prepared and get a gander at some of these antics:







You do not want to miss this special series, Friends. 
Better tune in, or Super Baby is gonna do this:

And, nobody wants that.

  3. Super fun!!! And was that a Corona stuck into a margarita? I'm kind of out of the loop on new, fun ways to consume alcohol. :)

    1. Yes, that is a baby Corona stuck upsidedown in a margarita and you have a very valid reason to be out of the loop. :) We have no idea why it came like that and certainly didn't expect it. But we had great fun with it once it did arrive. :)
