I LOVE the Olympics. I was blown away by the opening ceremonies. They were awesome! For those of you who watched it my favorite part was the 'boxes' with people in it. They were all in complete sync with each other...WOW! This week/weekend I wasn't feeling too hot so we took it easy. My parents DDR'ed the first few days. We watched basketball, women's fencing, swimming (especially Michael Phelps) etc. It is always so cool to see an American standing on the medals podium singing the national anthem. (PS more of them need to actually SING it! As you watch other people win they SING their national anthem...come on Americans!!!) I look forward to watching more of the Olympics and especially the USA basketball team-Go Deron Williams!!
That was a favorite at our house as well. My personal favorites were the drums in the beginning especially when the lights went out with the red drums sticks. The other part that really stood out was the perfect circles by the tai-chi masters, its hard enough to draw circle much less arrange 2008 people into one, or many as the case may be.
I love the Olympics as well...swimming and gymnastics the most!! Wahoo! USA USA!!
