The Olympics are Here!

We are so excited. The summer Olympics have officially begun. We are even more excited because they are in China. It's so hard to believe Bill was there 1 week ago. He sort of wishes he could have stayed. Especially seeing how the opening Ceremonies were last night. WOW! AMAZING! UNBELIEVABLE! Those were 3 words we kept saying all night. The show was awesome! I had tears in my eyes several times.
We drove down to Bills brothers house and had a fun dinner. Foods from different countries. The kids played and then it was time. Time for the show to begin. And what a show it was.
We left around 9:30 and headed home. Our girls spent the night with their cousins. They had a great time. They came home today around noon.
I couldn't help but think last night, was Billy watching the opening ceremony? How proud was he of his country? I wish I could know. Bill thinks that he was able to watch it. He said that there were TV's all over the place.
Here are a few photos from last night. We had fun. Now we're winding down the day. The girls are eating their dinner and getting ready for a bath.
I hope you enjoy watching the summer games! We will!
Love,
Debbie
