The Olympic Torch!


completely ignore what i'm wearing! it was -10 degrees here and we left our house at 8:30 to catch the flame pass thru the town!
but here I am, with Amanda and Ashley, and 6 of the many torch bearers. haha notice how i stole the guys torch! those things were EXTREMELY heavy, i cannot imagine running with LIT ones. 
Orangeville held a huge celebration today, with ski and snowboarding, skating, snowmobiling, dancing, and signing. We really did get into the spirit of the games!
 
What I'm the most excited about is this man - Mike Douglas!! I can't believe he was in my town!! He's responsible for the growth of freestyle skiing in Canada and the world and he's one of my personal heros. Absolutely AMAZING skier!

Orangeville has these tree carvings EVERYWHERE. Someone carved this solely for the olympic torch pass-thru.


ashley, and amanda with their friend dakato. love the sweaters!

the flame is lit!


GO CANADA GO!
