I love the Olympics

Brynn and Joel made their own Olympic rings.
Here's our big one we all made together with some trivia questions to the left.
We had fun making windsocks to cheer on our countries.
Sorry this is flipped. Picasa isn't working right now and I wanted to get these posted. I have to say I was surprised at how well they turned out! Joel is amazing with scissors. He is great with detail work. Brynn is great at making things look pretty. I was the supervisor who provided the ideas of how to put it all together. Go Canada and U.S.A.!
It was exciting and fun to prepare for the Olympics by seeing the torch pass through Beaumont, really close to our house, decorating, learning and talking about the history of the Olympics. The kids haven't watched too many events but they loved the Women's snowboarding Cross, the Ski Jumping, a little bit of speed skating. I think they would like the figure skating but they are usually in bed by then. It's been good to talk with the kids about how hard the athletes work to get to the Olympics, the goals they set, and sacrifices they make, even if they aren't the world's best. Hopefully they'll remember something from it that's important.
