The 2010 Olympics

It's certainly exciting to have such an international event close to home. We are in the second week of the Winter Olympics and have certainly enjoyed it. It has been hard for Harvie to focus on work when just outside his office stands the burning flame and a sea of people. For me, it's been hard to focus on cutting down my paper in half...I have written just under 100 pages but need to cut it down to a maximum of 50 pages. So what to do? Put it all on hold, take in the Olympic moment, for the it will be gone too soon. I ventured down to Vancouver to meet Harvie Friday afternoon with the other thousands of people. It was an adventure to remember. What a sight it was to see Vancouver! Here are some of the pictures Harvie has taken over the last week.

These were the top 6 highlights of our Olympic Adventure according to Adrianna...

Topping the list as #1: The Playground at Yaletown! I know, not an Olympic event, but for our little toddler it sure was. Her laughter and smiles deserve a gold medal!

#2: The flowers on the walkway in Coal Harbour. Flowers are one of Adrianna's favourite things. Her word for flower is "tsi" thanks to my mom always pretending to sneeze when Adrianna points at a flower.

#3: Visiting Daddy's office and running around the maze of cubicles. It was a good thing the office was quite empty...

#4: Being entertained by the crowds of people.

#5: Sitting on Daddy's shoulder for the majority of the time (hard to see anything sitting in the stroller).

#6: The train adventure! And what an experience that was. It was incredible busy on the way back and she refused to sit on my lap. She sat on the floor and was thoroughly entertained by the people around. Even though she stayed up past her bedtime, she was such a joy!

So, with less than one week left, we are cheering for Canada! Go Canada go!
