It is finally here! The XXX
Olympiad begins this evening
with The Opening Ceremony!
July 27-August 12th. That is
seventeen days of spectacular
events featuring more than 200
nations participating in 32 events.
That means there are A LOT of
young people running around London.
We have several athletes from KC
competing in the events. YEA!
For more info on the Olympics
go to www.london.com

schedule.
Both of these sites have really

on in London.
Do you plan to watch the opening
ceremonies? What are your
fave events? I'm partial to
Gymnastics, Swimming and
some Track and Field.
Don't forget--that after the XXX
Olympics finish it will be time for
those in the Paralympics to shine!
Those games are Aug. 29-Sept. 9th.

It will be nice to watch something good on tv for a change! I'm sure it's going to be too hot to be outside this weekend, we'll be tuned in by the AC!

ReplyDeleteI only watched up to the part where the queen was on. That was too funny!!! I recorded it so J and I could watch together when he gets home :) He really enjoys the opening ceremonies.

Great post! Enjoyed the opening ceremony sooo much, although I think a lot of people didnt quite 'get it'. Us Brits dont take ourselves too seriously! Hope you enjoy the Games, I will think of you watching! Our eldest son is a volunteer chauffeur for the duration of the Games, giving up his annual holiday to work there! ENJOY!! love from AnneMarie xxx
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching!!!! Our Baltimore hero, Michael Phelps isn't doing to good. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the harmony and unity that the olympics bring.
Have a great new week.
