OK. You get to see the Olympics since they are happening almost in your backyard. We picked Saturday after the opening ceremony. It was cold, windy and rainy day. We took a sky train from Surrey to downtown Vancouver and walked up to the waterfront to see the torch. It was fun. We had a lunch there and drove home.It was too cold. No lines at the border! The Czechs got one gold and two bronze medals so far. The speed skater Sablikova got gold! She is from our little town!!! and she is a tiny little thing! Compare to the Dutch "monsters"
The Czech Republic with Kids
You hug your husband very tight at Paris' Airport. And while he flies back to the USA, you take your children home to the Czech Republic to visit babi and deda, cousins and family and everything feels okay because your God is bigger than your fears and worries and you are covered with faithful prayers of your family and friends. And the things you do at home are awesome. You walk a dog every day. Twice a day. Three times a day. And you cannot wait to do it again the next day. Because you are THREE and you LOVE dogs. And you hold your grandparents hand and it feels so much better than looking at them through cold computer screen. And you are 12 and you get to ride a go cart out in the field. And give your little sister a ride, too. Because you are "da man" when daddy is not around. And you are 9 and get to ride a four wheeler all by yourself and pass everyone on the track, older cousin included! Because you are totally fearless and
Looks a bit chilly, but glad you all made it up to see it anyway!
