Just jumping on to say HI! 
I had a great time in Vancouver. Because it was a last minute trip, we didn't see any actual competitions, but we saw just about all the free "celebration sites" and had a great time!
One of the highlights for me was doing a biathlon simulator. For the skiing part, it had you do some slides on the same thing that was used in the Biggest loser challenge in the last episode. It was tough and exciting to do something I've seen on BL
It was great seeing people from all over the world proudly wearing the colours of their country (Canadian, American, Russian, Dutch, Czechs, Germans, Estonians, Swiss, Swedes, are a few that I noticed in the crowds of people). It was exciting to see the Olympic Cauldron and the Olympic rings. We got to see 2 Swiss men playing the Alpine horns (like in the Riccola commercials). Overall a great trip.
We got home on Friday night, which was my younger DD's 5th birthday. The weekend was crazy busy getting the house cleaned and decorated, cake and cupcakes made, and goody bags ready for the party today.
Sorry I'm way behind. I haven't read anything I missed in the thread yet, and I've only managed to get a dozen of the weighin PM's opened. Will get the rest done tomorrow.
Heading off to bed to get caught up on some sleep. Here's a picture of me and my girls with the Olympic Cauldron
And here's me on that skating/skiing slider thingy
And here's one of me and DD in a Dutch bobsleigh that was connected to a simulator screen. I was just a booster seat for DD to be the driver
