On Wednesday January 20th, 2010 we were able to watch the Olympic Torch run right past Carson and Kailey's schools. They had a whole celebration with donuts and hot chocolate. Good old Lanny MacDonald (old timmer Calgary Flames player) was there hosting the celebration with lots of Olympic Athletes (past and present) right from our own community.
Sadie and Jordan felt the excitement of the Olympic Torch coming and were waiting patiently to see it run past!
Finally it came down the highway and through the parking lot of the school. I have to say it was quite an amazing thing! It really does stir emotions of excitement as we gear up for the Olympics. It made me think about what an amazing opportunity it was for Calgary to host the Olympics in 1988. I knew it was a cool thing but didn't realize just how amazing it was. I wish I could back in time and relive those Olympic days in Calgary because I know I would appreciate it so much more!
