We have been enjoying watching the winter olympics in the evenings after meetings or the kids are in bed. My favorite sport to watch is men's snowboarding, and Brian's is probably men's hockey. Our kids aren't old enough to enjoy learning about the different countries represented yet, but a lot of our friends' kiddos get out their globes and figure out where the countries are.
I came across this recipee for Olympic Rings Fruit Pizza that I thought someone else might enjoy making with their family. This would be a fun family tradition to start!
One family tradition that I heard this past week is to have a family meal for the opening ceremonies that is full of food of the country that is hosting the olympics. So this year, the family made Poutine: a dish of fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. I've never heard of it, but Canadians know what it is. I'm already thinking ahead of what we might make for the summer games in London (2012) - Fish and Chips? Or the next winter games in Sochi, Russia (2014) - Shchi (cabbage soup)?
I think we'll add this to our list of ways to help remind our kids (and ourselves) that the world God made is a whole lot bigger than ourselves. (Two-year olds need reminding almost every day :)
