BUMPING, the Opening Ceremonies are tomorrow!!!!

 

[Soubrette]

I'll be watching too and I can't wait. I mostly watch swimming, track and field, gymnastics and occasionally see how many points our basketball team beat the other team by.

maybe...basketball is becoming much more competitive internationally.

The other Hamm brother is out, too. He reinjured his ankle and is unable to compete.

Nice to see the men's soccer team started with a win!

So excited about it, I have a regular scrapbooking party on the second Friday of every month. I told everyone it'll have an olympics theme this time and we're watching the opening ceremonies. I told them I'd even do Olympic treats for them.

DH talked about have an Opening Ceremonies party (for the two of us) and asked what we should do for it. I'm suggesting ordering Chinese.

I love watching the opening ceremonies!! Are there any links that give a preview of what may be expected? I heard it will take 2 hours for the athletes to enter the stadium.
