When the Summer Olympics started almost two years ago I was relatively new in the boys lives. Since I LOVE the Olympics and realized that they did not know much about them I decided to throw an Olympic Party for the opening ceremonies. I planned a dinner buffet of appitizers, pulled out every American flag I could find, checked out a couple of books about the Olympics from the library and made a special evening out it.
Now that the Winter Olympics are here they have requested another Olympic party which I thought was really cute. So we are doing it again - this week we have been reading about the winter Olympic sports, talking about the difference between the summer games and the winter games and planning our menu. New this year is an Olympic flag that I found at an estate sale. It has the Olympic rings and U.S.A. on it and we'll put the flag out Friday morning. I also have them standing whenever the National Anthem is played during the medal ceremonies.
We keep a world map handy so that we can find the different countries that are represented at the Olympics. I think this year we might even mark them with little post it arrows.
I think one or two of you mentioned that you enjoy the Olympics as well - will YOU be watching? And, is anyone going to go to any of the games?
