As the Olympics were only a few days away we went out to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Delta and take part in the Light the Spirit of Delta. Liam was loving all the big trucks, music and the police cars that went past. Everyone on the street was grinning from ear to ear it was a day that we will not forget!
We were excited for the arrival of the torch coming through our neighbourhood and once we got to the street it was exciting and everyone was very proud to be Canadian.
Once the torch went through Delta we headed over to the recreation centre for some family entertainment. We saw Bobs & Lolo preform for the little ones inside and then we saw the Slovakian theatre group Teatro Tatro preform a strange, but entertaining show on the side of a Slovakian bus in the parking lot.
Then to end the day we went to Sungod Recreation Center as the municipality hosted the women's Olympic hockey teams from Finland and Slovakia in an exhibition game. Liam loved the game and the day could not have been any more packed!
So we had a few days to recoup and catch up on naps and for the opening ceremonies we had a couple of Liams friends come over for a late night party to watch the opening ceromonies. It was a party, we had pizza, Canada flags, toys and of course Hockey Sticks where the 3 of them started a game (however it didn't take too long before there was some high sticking so the game didn't last too long). It was a great night even if the opening ceremony didn't go quite as planned. Again a great night!
