Watching the gold medal mens hockey game.
With the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, we couldn't help being the spirit of the games. I have always been a huge fan of the Olympics. This year was memorable because the boys began to love the olympics as well. Ethan had to report on a Canadian athlete every day at school. The boys loved that they got to stay up late to watch various sports on TV and I often found them re-enacting the sports around the house. There were many memorable moments from the games. The opening day, a guy I used to babysit, Keith Martin was carrying the flag. His mom was interviewed on CTV and it brought tears to my eyes. Keith has Muscular Distrophy and has been through so much in his young life. Then there were the number of Canadian gold medals.
What I hope lasts from the games is the sense of pride that seemed to warm all Canadians. It filled us up and made us shine. Well done Canada!
