Yesterday was Family Day here in Ontario. There was no school and no work but Matt had to go in for most of the day. The girls had a sister swap with some friends. Kaitlyn went to the older sisters house while the younger sister came here. Grace had a blast with Riley playing in the snow, on the Wii and even doing some painting. I hardly saw them all day. Kaitlyn had lots of fun hanging with her friend Delaney and her cousin. Playing in the snow and just being teenage girls.
When Matt and Kaitlyn came back home we decided to check out a new sledding hill that Grace found in the park. We all had fun taking turns sledding down the hill and doing tricks. Matt and I decided to take a walk out to the beach. I hadn't been out there since before Christmas and it's had been a while for Matt also. It was a pretty walking through the trees and snow. The beach had a good layer of built up ice/snow.
We ended our day watching the Candian girls hockey team play in the Olympics. We have really been enjoying watching the games. Our TV is on almost all day with the Olympics playing. We recorded the opening ceremonies and it took us all weekend to watch it all. What an awesome thing to see. What has been fun is we have been watching on the Canadian station. It has been a neat experience watching them from another countries point of view. I have found myself not so focused on my own country I am from. I am just enjoying the games for what they are. I got excited and cried watching Canada get thier first gold medal on thier own soil. What an awesome experience! I'm not a competitive person so I don't really get into all the my country is better than yours. I am SO proud of our US Olypians who have won a medal and those who have poured thier heart and souls into thier game. But I am also just enjoying watching the different sports and cheering on who ever.
