We are excited for the Olympics to be here. We kicked off the Olympics with our own opening celebration, ordering Chinese food and watching the opening ceremonies together. It was great to watch the amazing performances, see all the different countries enter the Birds Nest (and learn where they were!), to stand and cheer for the USA Oympicans entering the area, see the torch lite, and watch Yao Ming and the little boy from the earthquake in China being interviewed. It is fun to learn the stories behind the athletes. Favorite sports we will be following here are basketball, gymnastics, table tennis, track and field and of course, swimming.
Go USA!
Jake kept going back to to table, eating more than the other 3 kids combined. His favorite was the Wonton Soup..who knew?!
Hayley buried under the Olympic Mascots. Hayley, Trevor & Jake had a lot of fun playing with these mascots Don brought back from his trip to China last fall. They know each of their names & everyone has a favorite.

I have been a pooper (not on purpose) with the olympics I feel guilty--I need to go over to your house to catch the spirit!
You are so creative...I love it! We love the Olympics and have been watching all of the events at night. Of course I think I got a little too involved and found myself shouting at the TV during the Men's Swimming relay race.
GO USA!!
