OLYMPICS

We went to the Olympics! It was SUCH a wonderful trip. Next to our honeymoon, I think it is my favorite vacation ever. The boys did awesome, we had a great time, made great friends, saw cool sites. It was just PERFECT.

We flew to Seattle and spent the first night with our old Orange County friends, the Idols.

The next day we headed into Vancouver, where we had arranged to stay with friends of our good friends, Amber and Deric. We had never met them so it was a little nervewracking especially since we were bringing two destructo-toddlers into their home. They were AWESOME, though, and we liked them from the first second. They have a little girl on the way and we can't wait for her arrival and fun pictures. This is them, Aaron and Amy!

We spent 5 days seeing as many Olympic sites as possible, including taking in one hockey game, Czech Republic vs. Latvia. We also saw the Olympic cauldron, played in Robson Square (the social hubub center), etc.

This is the boys listening to a band we happened upon outside the Sochi exhibit house (its a venue where you can see pictures and previews of what's to come at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.
I just think he looks cute in his hat!!

In the above shot Eli had just woken up from an all too short nap. Isn't he cute all sleepy-eyed? His cheeks also got chapped from the cold. :(

My three boys...beautiful!!!

We wrapped up the trip with one more night at the Idols and got to see Lyndsey and Mark on Saturday night and then swung by the Trumans on Sunday morning before our flight home. It is always SO good to see old friends and reconnect. We finished our trip with our hearts and souls full for sure!!!
