My Olympic Experience - Pt. 2

These pictures speak for themselves:

Isn't it incredible?  Awe inspiring actully. 

Sunday morning we headed downtown with the kids.  The only thing I wanted to do was see the Cauldron.  It's amazingly huge and beautiful.  Whoever crafted it made it appear to be made out of shimmering ice.  I loved it.

We explored the Waterfront, saw the Olympic rings out in the harbour, people watched, were dumbfounded by the line-up of people outside The Bay waiting (first to get IN!!!) to buy Official Olympic merchandise and had beer and smokies (not the kids! LOL) while basking outdoors in the sunshine.  It was a fabulous time. 

We then headed over to Vancouver Olympic Centre to watch Men's Curling where Canadian Martin and his teammates beat the Swiss 6 - 4 with his last shot right in the button.  It was an amazing end to a great day! 

It was my first time watching curling and I was surprised how much I liked it.  The kids really liked it too. 

Have a great day!

My Olympic Experience - Pt. 1

My hubby was lucky enough to get tickets to Molson Candadian Hockey House given to him for last night.  What a great time it was!  There were so many exciting things that happened while we were there.  It was Wayne Gretzky day and he actually showed up.  I even had a close encounter with him (and his "entourage") in the hallway by the bathroom.  He's taller than I figured, even without skates on!

My hubby is tall so he was holding the camera up taking pictures.  My SIL emailed this morning asking if we were there because she saw hubby on the news taking pictures all the way in Ontario. 

Kevin Lowe and Grant Fuhr were there too.  It was cool for me because I'm an Edmontonian born and bred and those 3 won a bunch of Stanley Cups together in the 80's for the Edmonton Oilers.

Here is my DH with some nice RCMP officers.  They were very gracious, posing for pictures with everyone.

While we were there The Canadian Tenors performed.  Not only are they heavenly to listen to, they are super handsome too!  ;)

Jon Montgomery won Gold in the Skeleton while we were there too.  That was so exciting!!!

Here is a photo of DH and an OLYMPIC TORCH that was actually used in the torch relay:

Tomorrow we're taking the kids to watch Martin and fellow Canadian curlers play. I hope to get a picture of the Cauldron to post!  I didn't think I'd be as into the Games as I am, nor did I think I'd get to experience any of them so it's pretty exciting! 

GO CANADA GO!!!
