London 2012 Olympics

Well the Olympics has come to an end and we have no idea what to do with all this free time we have not watching the events. I have to admit, in the build up I was not really interested at all and I was rather glad I wasn't living in London. But oh my goodness how did that view change. I have loved every single minute of the last 2 weeks. Once it had started I was so annoyed at myself for not trying to get tickets to any of the events. So you can imagine how excited I was when we went down South to a friends wedding and went for a walk with Kathy, John, Charlotte and Baxter to Hampton Court and found these.

We were joined by David, Michelle and Kieran.

This is where the time trial for the men's cycling started and finished and where they were given their medals. This is also the event where we got a GOLD and BRONZE for Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome. I was so happy that we were able to get to feel that we had been a small bit, a very small bit, involved in the whole thing.
Elijah did make us laugh when he asked where the other throne was
"Cause there are 4 thrones in Narnia" Bless him.

     
We had a little camp out in the playroom for the closing ceremony. Phoebe and Elijah were both asleep about half an hour into it. But Faith bless her made it till 10 minutes before the end before she just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer. The same as she managed to do with the open ceremony.
We have loved the Olympics in this house and are so very proud to be BRITISH.
