Friday was the official kick off of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games here in Canada and boy did they put on a spectacular opening ceremony!! We missed the first airing of it on the television so my husband and I actually started watched it at midnight to see what we had missed and boy am I glad we did :)
We had the chance to see the torch pass through when it started its cross country journey and now I'm putting together a scrapbook for the kids with all of the best photos and articles that I can get out of the newspaper. The Vancouver Sun is dedicating quite a few sections of the daily paper to covering all of the events and so on so I am really looking forward to reading it and watching some of the games on the television with the kids to :)
How about you, are you doing anything special as this games unfold?

IT must be such an exciting event when it takes place in your home country! I didn't see the entire opening ceremony but what I saw was rather impressive! Enjoy!
I didn't see the opening but Olympic games are always a wonderful event!!

My husband got to attend the opening ceremony when the Winter Games were in Salt Lake City and said that there is a sense of awe in the number of countries represented and pride in being the host country! - Michelle
