olympic run, part deux

it seems that my singing of "rain, rain go away" has worked! no rain poured down this afternoon so the hubby and i were able to take the little man out to do a couple of olympic sight seeing.

because dylz is still a little under the weather, we took him to check out the most important things --- olympic flame and torch, followed by a walk around robson street (our MOST popular street in downtown vancouver) where the party was started due to a 2-0 win over the US on women's hockey. that's right, it's gold for the canadians on the ice!

but let's get to the important things first.... the photos!


at Coal Harbour overlooking the Olympic Rings

Checking out the outdoor cauldron

Dylan giving daddy a kiss!

Dylz and I posing by the torch (again!)

The hubby is insisting that Dylan starts training for hockey at 2 years old --- uhm, yeah right.

Oh so young and already being patriotic.

A decent family photo by a bobsled!

Finally -- a stop at Starbucks for some banana bread for the little man.

We are still hoping to make one last Olympic run before the spirit of the Olympics leave Vancouver. Weather permitting, we'll be able to do more things this weekend!
