Let's Curl

I marked "go to the Olympics" off my list of things to do last weekend and it was so fun! The Olympic spirit in Vancouver is huge. The streets are full of people from everywhere celebrating their country and it's athletes. Jacy and I spent all day hiking all over Vancouver to see the Olympics highlights. Here are a few pictures from the curling match we attended. There were three games going on while we were there and the highlight was Canada vs. Great Britain (really Scotland). It was a rowdy, loud curling event that had to pause for all those country loving Canadians in the crowd (and me and Jacy) to sing "Oh Canada" in the middle of the event. Wayne Gretzky was an observer at the game as well and it was fun to have a "star watching" moment as part of our Olympics experience.
"Wayne Gretzky is drinking a cup of coffee."
"Wayne Gretzky is talking to the lady behind him."
"Wayne Gretzky has to stand up to see what is going on because his seats in the VIP section are not as good as our seats on the front row."
"Wayne Gretzky is leaving curling in the middle of the match. Seriously, he's leaving now?"
That's what it sounded like in our seats along with a lot of "we love Wayne Gretzky" just to annoy the photographer who was stationed in front of us who HATES "The Great One" with a passion.
Stay tuned for many more posts about the Olympics, if you want.
BTW, that's Wayne wearing a blue coat with brown sleeves in the top right photo!
