Talia and Fernando watching the games togetherThough the Olympics are gone, our family has noticed several residual influences. Our DVR allowed us to record and fast forward hours of events in order to capture the unique and entertaining. Some favorites are: Race Walking with its swaying hips and incredible heal toe action, Rhythmic Gymnastics showing us all that hula hoops and ropes can be graceful appendages, Synchronized Swimming ok actually synchronized anything to name a few. Martin Short clip is funny but the "I know You" part doesn't compare to the flips and lights coming from the real deal.
Some fun family moments:
To feel more apart of the host country, we went to Panda Express. Nothing says China like Americanized gooey "Chinese Food".
We held our own mini Rhythmic Gymnastics with a children's lawnmower and inflatable sprinkler ball. You can judge for yourself the quality of performance. (Tiago is singing Life is a Highway from Disney's the Car Movie and Mia is making up something fun like she often does.)

Very cute! Your kids have such great imaginations!
and the gold goes to....
seriously Rachelle, MIa needs to be signed up for some drama classes and if those don't work out there is always ambitions for giant beachball-nastics!
I watched the movie clips with mom and dad... I don't know which part I loved more: Mia and Tiago's darlingness or their grandparents who were so happy to see them...
It must be so fun to have that nice big yard and play structure for your kids to run around in.
What was Talia's event?
Your kids are so sweet. Looks like good times.
You guys think of the coolest ideas! I love it. The picture above of Talia with Daddy is SO cute too.
Just 3 more days!!! I can hardly wait. We even got a new car to celebrate your arrival, plus the fact that we needed a new car. See you soon!!
You guys are soo creative! I wish I was that cool of a mom. Talia looks like a daddies girl....soo cute! By the way, have you taken the kids to the Mckenna Children's Museum in New Braunfels? We went yesterday and it was incredible! I heard it puts the SA one to shame! Check it out!
How fun! You guys are so creative. I need to totally get with it.
I forgot about th race walking! I was majorly intrigued by that event - and the discipline they must have to not just break out into a sprint to catch up when behind. How DO you catch up in race walking?
You guys were at the game?!?! I actually went as well - I just posted about it. Wasn't it SO good? Too bad we didn't meet up. Are you still in Utah?
