Olympic Fever

     We definitely have a bit of the Olympic fever at our house.  I wasn't sure how interested the kids would be in the games, but Mikayla has been following right along with all the events.  We started off by watching the opening ceremonies {which was a little slow for the kids}, watch the events each night, and intend on ending it all with the closing ceremony.  Our favorite events are gymnastics, swimming, and diving.  The best part of it all is seeing the kids re-enact the different Olympic sports.  Sometimes it even feels like Olympic Stadium with Mikayla doing her own commentating.  Noah just tries his best to keep up with sister.  They really enjoy pretending their gymanastic superstars, or the next fastest runner.  I just like to sit there and smile as I watch the way they envision it all.  I think we all be sad when it is over.
