I watched the opening last night with my daughter. Yes, I did let her stay up until 11 pm. She was excited, but sad because they didn't show the Olympic Mascots. She really loves those guys. I may have to purchase some stuffies for Easter or Birthday.
Watching the opening was amazing. I was so impressed at what they did by incorporating the First Nations history and our vast multicultural history. There were many times when I was explaining something to my daughter that I got teary eyed due to being so proud of my Country and what we are. The highlight of the evening for me, was the slam poem by Shane Koyczan - We are More! It is true what they say about Canadians being humble and not taking centre stage. However, this poem said everything every Canadian feels.

We enjoyed watching the opening and I thought of you and Andrea the whole time. You have to tell me though, what is the meaning behind the "river dance" style dancers that were very edgy? I was intrigued.

We like watching the Olympics too. I'll be doing a post about being a former Olympian sometime during the Olympics. I'm not the athletic kind though :-)

How proud you must be of your country. The opening ceremony was amazing and I agree- his poem was unbelievable.
Enjoy the Olympics! I am-
