Looking back on the Olympics

Blogging today about the Watoto Choir, it reminded me that we hadn't yet blogged about our Olympic experience.

First off, Emily is doing very well with singing our National Anthem.  In fact, we find her singing it all over the house, in the car, and in various random places outside.  We as a family watched the Olympics that first week and decided to just do a quick trip down to take in the atmosphere.  It worked out fairly well since Teri came with us and we met Mark downtown.
Here are some of the pictures from that day.  Enjoy

We caught a CTV newscast downtown.

Children of Africa, Children of Canada

We had the privilege to host 3 of the members of the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda last night.  Emily especially enjoyed getting to know the girls.  Jayson liked their dancing as they sang.  Benjamin even bounced to their drums.

If you have a chance to go and see them, they are amazing!  All of them are orphans from the Watoto Villages in Uganda.  The Watoto villages are made up of houses for children orphaned by AIDS.
