I'm tired. So tired. Jack and I can't seem to tear ourselves away from the Olympics each night to get to bed at a reasonable time! (And as you all know kids just don't care if you stayed up too late "That's your problem mom, not mine. You knew I'd wake up in the middle of the night...twice...you should have went to bed earlier"-Jacob)
Our favorite sport to watch has been the swimming, in the all amazing Water Cube in Beijing! We have watched World Record after World Record be smashed to pieces...mostly by the all amazing, and arguably the best athlete in history, Michael Phelps. Did you watch the U.S. Men swim that 4x100 free relay?!?! Holy Moly, I'm not one for sports (I like to watch..not participate) and I was on the edge of my seat! I feel priviliged to have been able to watch it LIVE! It was awesome!
(sorry for the bad quality...its the best I could find for now)
Jack and I aren't the only ones having fun watching the Olympics, Tyler enjoys it too! "Watch umpics mommy!" Friday night we let him stay up late to watch the opening ceremonies because it is part of who he is. It was really neat to see all the amazing dances, tai chi, and the costumes were amazing too! He has fun chearing on the athletes too.
If you haven't had a chance to watch some of the primetime Olympic games, try to watch a little bit of it, you won't regret watching history being etched into the books!

Love you, sounds like fun! I am happy to hear you guys let Tyler stay up to see it too. What amazing memories and love for heritage you are teaching him.

I know exactly what you mean Tiffany!
Ronnie and I have been staying up late too...and it's so hard to turn those Olympics off!! And I feel the same way about Michael Phelps and the rest of the US Mens Swim team. I was watching this morning, Lochte, and he is amazing too!!
I have to say that the Summer Olympics are some of my favorite sports to watch. I'd watch it 24/7 if it were an all-year thing! :)
whoa! Aren't all these athletes amazing?!I missed the opening ceremony.I'll have to try and see if there is footage of it somewhwere.....ity is pretty neat to see history in sports in the making with Michael Phelps breaking his own world records time after time....and i barely can stand water on my face in the shower!
We have been doing the same thing Tiffany. We all pay for it the next day but it sure is fun! I bet Tyler enjoys watching all of the different sports! Leah does too. It is pretty fun to watch with the kiddos.
