Happy Olympics Everyone

Let the Olympic games begin!

Finally the 4 year wait is over and it is summer Olympic time again! I can't wait, DVR is set and ready to go.  Last night the opening ceremonies were pretty awesome as expected. So excited to see the parade of countries (even though our outfits were pretty bad).  Not as bad as Sweden who thought that wearing their interpretation of Where' Waldo would work (it was pretty bad).

I loved seeing all the children's book characters come to life, especially the 100 foot Voldemort.

 Seriously was anyone expecting that? How awesome! Too bad he was destroyed by Mary Poppins (who I despise :) ). I also loved how they had Mohamed Ali touch the Olympic flag before it was raised. Of course seeing Beckham drive the boat in with the Olympic touch was awesome!

Another great feature was the music. I mean Muse, Pink Floyd, and Beatles all playing in the background just to name a few.  Then at the end Sr. Paul McCarthy singing Hey Jude.

Well done on the opening games London, well done!  So excited to start the Olympics off with some swim and Michael Phelps today! 

Let the games begin! And may the odds be ever in the USA's favor. ;)

We had such a wonderful vacation and was sad it was over.  We were happy to come home and see the boys but wish we could have had a few more days off.  I highly recommend the Best Western Plus in Bloomington and the Speckled Hen Inn in Madison!

Upcoming Adventures

Travel Time!

I am excited to say I have two fun filled trips booked for end of August and mid October.  End of August I am going to sunny Tampa, FL to visit my family-

 Cousin Megan

Cousin Molly and not pictured- Aunty M, Uncle Charles, Caleb, Mark, and Gabby

I can't wait, I have not seen my cousins since 2010 and I am way excited.  We are going to go to Islands of Adventure, which I have not been to since 2007.  I am way excited to see the new Harry Potter section and go on the rides.

I am also hoping we can get in a beach day or go to the pool.  Only about a month to go!

October Justin and I booked a 2 bedroom condo at Glacier Canyon in Wilderness Resort at the Dells.  We have been to the Dells before to Chula Vista but never to Wilderness.  I am so excited because they have 3 indoor water parks and 2 glow in the dark, 3D mini golf courses!

Looking forward to seeing family and having fun in FL and relaxing and having fun in WI!
