I hope you have been having a good time because I have! Today I went to Cypress Mountain and watched men's moguls skiing and do you know what? I saw Alex Bilodeau ski. He won a gold medal for Canada today- the first one ever on Canadian soil!!!!!!!! On Friday I went to the Opening Ceremonies and I saw Wayne Gretzy light the torch. When Canada walked in the stadium I felt very proud not only to have the Olympics in Canada but to have so many Canadians work hard enough to compete in the Winter Olympics. It was great and I will never forget it. Tomorrow I will go to figure skating practice, women's hockey (Canada vs. Switzerland) and the Victory Ceremony when Alex Bilodeau will be awarded his Gold Medal. Did you know that every single medal looks different and has different waves?

Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time. Did you go skiing at Whistler? I am having fun following you on your blog - it's almost like being there with you.
Have fun and GO CANADA GO.

Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time. At home, I am watching the Olympics on tv. My favourite event so far is the freestyle skiing and luge. I heard you went to go see the freestyle skiing event. It must have been pretty neat to see Alex Bilodeau get a gold medal in skiing. Have you eaten any new foods? Was it neat to be at the opening ceremony and see a snowboarder jump through the Olympic rings? Did you see the outside cauldron? I am guessing it is BIG?
GO CANADA GO!

Bonjour Kate!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a wonderful time in Vancouver! Thank you so much for sharing your blog with our class. I have been watching some of the Olympic events on t.v., but I can only imagine what it must be like to be there in person. How exciting! I will keep my eyes open to hopefully catch a glimpse of you in some of the Olympic footage.
We miss you at school and can't wait to hear more of your fabulous adventures!
