The ball is hit over harder than expected, but my cousin pops the ball up enough so I can get to the it in time. I set up a perfect hit, the ball moves so fast to the Earth nobody can reach it, as the it hits the Earth we all cheer and jump for joy for it is us who has the upper hand in this match. Leading up to this event of sweat, determination and fun is the Latterell Olympics, a crazy invention made by yours truly the Latterell family, the Olympics is not necessarily testing your strength, but more of agility and the will to win the big prize.

As my Aunt tells us to go we automatically put the cookie on our four heads then shimmy and shake them down to our mouths. The older cousins and siblings have the advantage in this game, because they have been doing this for years.
