I'm right with your Lisa...I even watched the bike events because I love seeing the countryside. <br /><br />Loved the Queen's 'Bond Girl' video!<br /><br />I've also been enjoying tweets from Hugh Bonneville as he watches the events.

I haven't watched any of it, either, although I did get a bit teary-eyed when they announced on the news that the young female swimmer from Colorado won a gold today. <br />My daughter and SIL, however, have been watching faithfully, so I did manage to catch the Queen's "arrival" with James Bond during the opening games.

I have to imagine this will follow suit.

But he dropped out each time after about six months ;) He was really good though. He would be able to do competitive gymnastics, except that it would cut into his skateboarding/surfing/hanging out with buddies in the neighborhood time. He's too much of a free spirit Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-80029309589254067162012-07-30T10:33:05.489-04:002012-07-30T10:33:05.489-04:00Dina, my 6 year old has now informed me that she w...Dina, my 6 year old has now informed me that she wants to do gymnastics.

Around the time I passed 5'4" and got tired of injuries, I switched to ballet.

I do watch the Winter Games because I enjoy ice skating. (Though it's much harder to do now that I live in a warm climate and I don't live particularly close to a rink.)C.J.
