The Sunday we were put into the Glendale Stake we were told that they would be starting their annual Youth Olympics on Tuesday (in 2 days) and they would like us to be a part of it! So, the stake people came and showed the youth a power point presentation of past Youth Olympics, so we would know what all was involved. The program is incredible! They have been doing these stake Youth Olympics for like 30 years! There was volleyball, ping pong, chess, bike race, track and field, racket ball, archery, performing arts, scholastics, and fine arts which included photography, videography, sewing, crafting, sculpting, wood working and cooking! The Olympics lasted for 3 weeks. Then at the end they had an awards banquet where they gave out ribbons and metals. It was amazing! The first night we arrived at the stake center giant signs were hanging up, welcoming us to the stake! It was so nice. The kids loved it. It was perfect timing, all of the youth in the stake know each other, and are friends! We have had big groups of kids from the stake at our house every weekend since then!
