We were blown away by the Olympics Opening Ceremonies! Wow! Can you imagine what it would have been like to have been sitting in "The Bird's Nest" (name of the stadium where the ceremonies were held) tonight?! We all sat captivated for over 2 hours... I can't wait to see the gymnastics events! What are you looking forward to seeing?
I love the olympics! Gymnastics and swimming are my favorites. =)

I missed the opening-Fell asleep early last night~!
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite event is gymnastics my second favorite is the swimming.
Are you out thirfting? :)
I was blown away!! I actually fell asleep before the torch lighting, but I did stay up to see the US team walk in. What a great ceremony! DH and my parents were up at 8 a.m. to watch the women's basketball team play. (One of our university's former players was on the team.) They won! I am most looking forward to swimming, diving, and gymnastics. Oh, and badminton of course. (Kidding! I had no idea that was an Olympic event!)
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to see Phelps swim. We've heard he's grown a Mark Spitz mustache in honor of trying to break his record. We've had the amazing opportunity to attend two Olympics. 1984 in LA and 2002 in SLC. It is amazing to be there in person!
