It used to be that gymnastics was the main event that everyone anxiously waited for when the Olympics rolled around. I have to admit, gymnastics has brought me very little viewing pleasure....fun to watch, but no where as exciting as Olympics past. What has been the highlight in this household is the swimming events. How could you not want to watch our U.S. team...not to mention being captivated by Michael Phelps and his multiple gold medal and WR wins!! What an awesome guy who appears to be extremely humble about his tremendous abilities as a swimmer. He has three more to go...let's see if he can bring home a total of 8 medals during the Beijing Olympics. Go Phelps!By the way....and this is totally for Maria....Jackson's favorite event has been all of the equestrian events (and boxing, but we won't go into that). Can't wait to visit you guys in Idaho and get that kid on a horse!!

We will make a real cowboy out of him!!!! Boxing. . . I guess that means you have to watch lots of boxing. So funny! Anyway, we are loving Phelps too. Everytime we see him I can't stop saying over and over again "He's not human! That guy is a machine." I like to call him the Lance Armstrong of swimming.
I was working in the bar the night that he won by .01 seconds. There were about 20 people gathered around cheering for him to win, it was pretty exciting. It is crazy how many people have gotten back into watching the Olympics because of him.
