I just returned from Granville Island where Tobin and I watched the Olympic torch being passed off. Unfortunately, my camera was out of charge, but it looked something like this (thanks to Google images)
Tobin did really well waiting and waiting some more. We have taught him how to cheer when he waves a Canada flag, and he was full of spirit when he saw the stick with fire. "YAAAAAAY CANDA" is how it comes out =)
Here we are this morning in front of city hall sporting our cheer gear.
This was my second time seeing the torch relay. The first was a very cold morning in Kitchener, Ontario in 1988. Yup, my mom let us three girls skip school for the morning to watch this momentous occasion. Other than the cold, I don't remember much from 1988 - I was only in grade two, but it was really amazing to be surrounded by others all cheering for our country. I felt the same way about today and I'm sure it will continue as we host this world event in our city.
