One of the most exciting things to happen this summer have been the Olympics. We've been watching a little bit of the action every day. We watched the Opening Ceremonies to see how London would welcome the world to the games. We've also been watching some of the high-profiled events, like the swimming races, gymnastics, diving, and beach volleyball. I even saw a few events I didn't know much about like archery and trampolines! I didn't even know jumping on a trampoline was an Olympic event, but apparently it is! So far the USA has won 63 medals (29 Gold, 15 Silver, and 19 Bronze)
Some of my favorite moments so far were watching the Ladies Gymnastics get the team gold medal, and seeing Gabby Douglas win the Individual All-Around gold medal (also for gymnastics). I enjoyed watching Michael Phelps become the most decorated medalist....22 medals overall, 18 were gold!
Have you and your family been watching the Olympics?
What's been your favorite part so far?
