Have you had a chance to watch any of the action from the Winter Olympics in Vancouver yet? There is just something about the excitement of it all that makes me tune in. I love how patriotic I feel when someone from the US is competing. I'm also amazed that while all the athletes fight so hard to win they are also so gracious if they don't.
The official website of the games is here: http://www.vancouver2010.com/. You can find t
he schedule of events, live updates of standings during competitions, the medal count (as I type this the US leads with 6 medals), watch video interviews and read news stories about the athletes.

For the first time in Olympic history, each and every medal that is given out will be unique. The picture on the front of each medal was taken from a different spot on a larger picture, designed by a Canadian artist. It took workers at the Canadian Mint 402 work days to make the medals for the Olympic and the ParaOlympic Games.
Sometime during the Olympic Games, create medals out of foil or construction paper and award each person in your family a gold medal for something they are good at. You might give out awards for best bed maker, quickest dresser in the morning, best cake baker, or even best hug giver!
