Canadian Olympic Torch at Our House!!






WOW!! We were so lucky to have the Olympic Torch used for the Canada-wide relay stop at our house for a visit last week... A homeschool friend's husband participated in the relay and she was visiting in the area. She brought it over along with the outfit that he wore and told us the whole event. This was so exciting!

  3. Isn't that cool? My cousin ran the torch for the Olympics here in the US quite a few years ago. It was a thrill!
