It's like a disease and I love it! The Olympics are in full swing and our house had the games on during all waking hours. Dan and I fast forwarded through the cycling and men's volleyball and fencing and I didn't even bother with boxing, though I do root for the young American guy that is helping his family pay the bills through his sponsorships-Go that guy! And when it comes to swimming we were being hard core about it and watching them start to finish but we have come to find that if the race is over 100 meters we will fast forward to the end to see if the USA competitor metaled. No USA athelete, no watchy.
Our new favs:
Sync diving-did you see any of that?! It was amazing-The USA girls got silver!
Women's volleyball...if Missy May Trainer is playing
Archery-Dan has decided the next family Olympics will include this sport-"I'm Katniss!"
GYMNASTICS-Always a crowd pleaser. Super obsessed-Geaux Gabby!!
Rowing was pretty cool. Joan let me know last night we are all going to Austin to train. Pack your bags family. I let her know my trainer told me I was his best rower so she is going to want me on her team.
Shooting was great since the USA women, Rhode, shot 99/100. Gold...Fa sho. She was amazing and she looked like a normal person. I DO have a shot gun. Maybe you'll see me in Rio for 2016. Just sayin (Rhode is now, I believe, a five time Olympian, so maybe you wont see me in Rio).
Sync Swim starts this coming Sunday morning at 9am Central time. Nerd alert: Will you watch it and support Mary and Mariya with me? :) This is a pic from Mary's blog showing them at the Opening Ceremony. the girls on the far left and right are the swimmers. The girl in the middle is Sanya Richards-Ross who runs track and field, including the 400 meter.

Below is a link to Mary's blog. You can tell she is pretty funny by the way she writes. She is new to blogging, like me, and she is getting good.
