2012 Olympics

Unless you are living under a rock, you know that the 2012 Summer Olympic Games have started. I love the summer Olympics! It's always fun to watch the opening games and all of the entertainment value that comes with that opening ceremony. What I love more is to watch the competitions. It's the only time that I really watch any sports other than college football (which starts in a month's time, hootie hoo!).

I only caught a few things over the weekend, since I was in Savannah and doing other things. But David and I were able to watch a few events during the course of the weekend. Without a doubt, my favorite thing to watch is the gymnastics.

 I loved gymnastics as a young girl and if I was any good, I would have loved to have been on the Olympic team. Ha! Guess you can figure out that I wasn't that good :-)

My other favorite sports to watch during the Summer Olympics are swimming, volleyball, and running. I also enjoy watching the other random sports that you never see, such as ping pong, etc.

It was fun to watch Dana Vollmer win the Gold last night and to set the world record.

And with that being said, I have to throw out a "Go Gators" on that one. I saw on Gator Nation that if the University of Florida was it's own country, UF would be 5th on the Olympic medal count. So Florida is being represented well at the London games.

What were your take on the Ralph Lauren designed outfits for the athletes (with the made-in-China controversy aside)?

I was interested to see if Labron James would sport that sweet hat and I guess that he did!

I'm looking forward to watching the games again tonight. Are you?

Go USA!
