Fun Fact: The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, used alone, in one or in five different colors, which are, from left to right, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The Olympic symbol (the Olympic rings) expresses the activity of the Olympic Movement and represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games.

MEgga Hunt – Fun for Kids of All Ages!

The weather certainly cooperated this year for the annual Bainbridge Island MEgga Hunt at Battle Point Park! Three of our awesome au pairs, Michelle, Jade and Raissa, volunteered their time to help  children make egg maracas, spin for loads of fun prizes and play egg-cellent games.  Hundreds of kids were on hand for the event which went beyond the ordinary with live entertainment, crafts, games, balloon clowns, face painting and of course egg hunts! Over 7,000 eggs and 80 prize eggs!  APIA was a sponsor of this much loved event.
