Olympic Farewell

I love watching the Olympics and all of it's random-ness.  There is rarely another time of the year (or four years) that you get to watch sports like swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and sand volleyball on TV.  I also love hearing the stories of all the athletes and then watching them succeed (or sometimes fail epically).  It's just so exciting to me! I am sad that they are almost over!

So today I thought I would share some of my favorite Olympic moments!


I loved watching Missy Franklin win all of her medals.  She is too cute!


I loved watching the competition between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte!  You could tell that they didn't totally like each other.

I don't care what people say about him, I love watching Michael Phelps.  People say he looks goofy or that he is cocky, but can you swim that fast?

I loved watching Gabby.  Unfortunately she did not do as well as expected, but there is always the next time!

I didn't so much love watching this, but it was a great example of an epic fail.  Poor guy.

I was pretty awesome to watch Oscar Pistorius.



I have always been a big fan of Misty May and Carrie Walsh.  It was exciting to see them win their last gold!

And last but not least....



I loved watching William and Kate cheer their country on at all of the different events.  Love them!

Happy Friday!!!
