Hi to everyone

I couldn't let the Winter Olympics 2010 go by without posting something up! It hasn't been easy to watch the games on our t.v as the coverage is on quite late, Australia is 19 hours ahead of vancouver so we don't get to see any of the events until after 9.30 at night! I stayed up last night and watch the Snowboard Cross with dad, it was really exciting and looked amazing and alot of fun to do! My family and I watched the opening ceremony on Saurday night and we all thought it was spectacular! Mum and I have been following the journey of the Olympic Torch as it made its way from Greece to Vancouver and it was great to see the Olympic Flame finally being lit to signify the start of the games!


Over the next two weeks I am looking forward to watching the down hill ski events, more snow boarding and the ice skating although I know I will enjoy watching any of the events! I have been skiing once, when I went to Canberra on a school trip and I was able to do it quite well! I am hoping that soon We might go on a family ski trip, maybe to New Zealand where I can try out the snow boarding and get better on ski's!!
Let me know what you think about the games, mabe you have been lucky enough to actually go and expeience first hand what its like, make a comment or email me and I will post it up for you!

See you soon,
love Kate XX
