The Olympic Training Center

One of the last days of our Winter break we took Grandma and Grandpa and went to explore the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center.  We waited for the hourly tour hanging out in the bobsled and testing our muscles with the weights.  Then we watched a film about the last Winter Olympics – ( in Vancouver!  We were there!!) and then some about getting ready for this Winter Olympics. Then the tour took us around to a few of the training facilities.  It was the perfect time to go and get excited for Sochi. 

I’m really excited to watch coverage for the Olympics this year.  It was harder to follow for us while we lived in Germany because we didn’t have any TV – including the military channels.  This year we already have the Opening Ceremonies on the calendar and the kids responsibility charts are going to tie into the Olympics.  Go for the Gold!

It was fun to take a look at the gym.  Red, white and blue inspirational quotes lined the walls.
