The Olympics

Right now we are all loving the Olympics. I have never seen anything bring our whole family together like this. Each day we all sit together and are glued to the TV switching from one event from the next; well except Zack who we sometimes have to "make" hang out with us.

It is just amazing to watch the kids learn about something. Connor & Riley are so full of questions and once they understand the sport they are so excited when it's the USA's turn.

Riley has grabbed onto absolutely every event & understands how each is played including Curling. Yes I said Curling! When the USA knocks the other team's stone out or when they get into the circle Riley is pumping his arm & yelling!
We couldn't believe it and quizzed Riley hoping to catch him not knowing something, but he didn't and Riley kept answering us while shaking his head in disbelief that we didn't know the answers.  So really maybe he doesn't know them either but sounded so convincing we had to believe he knew everything about the sports.

Our favorite this year has been Shaun White in Snowboarding & Apolo Anton Ohno and speed skating...while watching a recording of last night's race Riley was just screaming at the TV "come on, come on!" Apolo is pictured on the label of Powerade and Riley says "it's his favorite drink because it's Apolo's favorite, why else would his picture be on the bottle?"

Too funny!

I am dreading then end of the Olympic Games as these have been the most enjoyable 10 days spent bonding with my boys.
