Winter Olympics

The kids have really enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics this year. Danny is having a difficult time deciding which sport he wants to start training for for the 2018 olympics. So in the mean time we have had our own Olympic events. Some traditional, some not so.
No awards are handed out at these games, as we are waiting for other countries to sign up so that we have some real competition.

Here are some exciting highlights of the some of the action!

Okay, so she really wasn't participating. I just thought it was a funny picture and I forgot to

This is the ice-swimming competition. He has tied Michael Phelps for the number of medals won in a single Olympics.

Here is the Ice-dancing pair of Kundrat & Kundrat.
A brother/sister team who got their start in the basement of their home.

Speed skating is a volatile sport. Here is the Gold medal hopeful from the U.S. as he
fell after catching his blade on a marker.


We go outside the arena now to bring you an exhibition sport this year. Snow-tennis. The judges haven't quite come up with a fair way to track the score.

As you can see, her form is excellent and she gets a tremendous spatter from the snowball she chose.

2 great shots from Danny in the men's event.


Tyler competed in the "cross-country skiing without skis" event.


Here are the men's and women's combined snow mountain jumping contest.
The last event was the downhill snowboard contest. Lacking the proper gear, our skier improvised with Duct tape.

Look at the concentration and look of determination.

And it was a GREAT RUN for the rooky! Wow have you ever seen anything like it?

And so this concludes the 2010 Olympiad.

Coming up next...... Well, I can't tell you as it is a surprise!
