Let the Games Begin

The 2012 Olympics start today, and I'm quite excited. I love watching the different sports -- getting caught up in the competitions and learning the stories of the athletes. My favorite summer events are track, swimming and diving, and gymnastics. But I like basketball, sailing, cycling, tennis, volleyball and equestrian events too. How about you?

Out to the Ballgame

This was a fun and particularly sports-filled weekend. Every day brought new baseball and football games to watch. Yet the highlight was going to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday. We usually make it to a few games each year, but this was the first game of the playoffs so it was something special. The stands were absolutely packed and the energy was incredible. Every time the Brewers made a good hit or scored, the place erupted. My husband is a huge baseball fan, so it was really neat to experience it all with him. Here are a few glimpses of our game day:
