In case you've been living under a rock. The Summer Olympics are this year in London. And is the usual customs of the Olympics, they have guests, usually athletes or celebrities from that country do a kind of ceremonial torch relay that ends with the lighting at the opening ceremony that begins the Olympics.
In the above image is Synchronised swimmer Nadine Struijk of the Netherlands. No she did not get hit by the yellow car, but is jumping for joy???
Other torch bearers this year included Queens Elizabeth's grand daughter Zara Phillips, and David Beckham. The relay lasts for 70 days and includes 8,000 torchbearers covering 8,000 miles!

I can't wait for the Olympics to begin. Too bad they can't hold them every year...
I guess I've been living under a rock because I didn't even know the Olympics were this year, let alone London. Actually, I didn't even realize it was almost summer already.
Trin has been acting out lately, I told that girl to stop jumping like that in the middle of the streets.
I am excited. We are a sponsor :). I ordered a second set of business cards with the Olympic rings on them haha.
