Catching up Part 2 - July & August 2012 (Olympics!)

Just in case you were not aware... Summer 2012 in the UK was HUGE. We are incredibly blessed to have experienced it first-hand. As you know, the Diamond Jubilee took place for Queen Elizabeth's 60th year reigning as Queen of the United Kingdom. In addition to that, London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics and we got to go to several events! You would think "Wow, how amazing! How could it get any better than that?" Well, I shall tell you. We actually got to see our dear friend Angela compete in the Sprint Kayaking races, see her qualify for finals, and become fifth in the whole world!

I have some photo documentation to prove we had an amazing time. :)

London Bridge helped the city get into the Olympic Spirit

Artistic Gymnastics! We saw the following teams compete to go to finals: Romania, Japan, and several Mixed Single groups.

A dream come true! All that was missing was my sister Rachel. We have many
childhood memories following the USA Gymnastics Team!

The Romanian Team - they ended up taking bronze in the team final

We got to see Susan Izbaşa from Romania. She ended up taking gold in singles vault!

There is always something going on during a meet!

 Sprint Kayaking at Eton-Dorney Lake:

Honorary Brits when it comes to cheering for Angela! GO TEAM GB!

Angela is the third girl in the boat

A roaring start!

Angela came in her full closing ceremony kit to speak at a church gathering in September (celebrity sighting!)

Bryant went to Judo with Callum (Angela's hubby). He had to do some research on the sport to learn what he was watching. Judo isn't something we know much about! :)
