I had a fun weekend visiting with some friends from college, going to Sing Song, seeing some family from out of town, going to Leigh Ann Hess's wedding shower, and watching the Olympics with Brandon.
One of our favorite sports to watch is curling. It's one of the few Olympic sports that makes you think, "I could do that." There's no way I could ski the Super G or speed skate or even ice dance (not that that's a real sport), but I think I could be a curler. And I could be the person on the back of the bobsled who pushes it to get started, then jumps in the back and ducks his head down. What Olympic event would do?
I remember one of Summer's birthdays when the whole Thompson family was at the lake. My aunts planned the "Summer Olympics" in honor of her birthday and everyone (kids and adults) participated. We had events like bobbing for apples, 3-legged races, and covering our uncles' faces in shaving cream.
I think it's about time to hold our own Winter Olympic races.
