After writing and swim classes and getting a little caught up on my blog, we went to Game Night for church. However, as this was also the opening night for the Olympic games, the activities were moved to the Farmer's house so that those who wanted could watch the opening ceremonies. It was highly amusing to listen to and be a part of light banter and discussion of the commentary and ceremonies, but for me the highlight of the evening was definitely holding Elijah Farmer for nearly 2 hours. He is so cute and cuddly, and slept pretty much the entire time. Happy Janet!
However, it was also amusing to watch the ceremonies with such a great range of people in terms of age and interest level. At the beginning, a large group of kids came in to join us. As the ceremonies progressed, many started wandering off to play ping pong or other games, yet they returned for the procession of countries (which to me is probably the most boring part of the entire ceremony).
As for me, my personal favorite moment in the ceremony was the Chariot's of Fire sequence. First of all, I love the movie and the music to begin with, but I also found the humor of the comedy tasteful and amusing as well, and can totally relate to playing a boring minor role in an overall production leading to boredom and distraction... And people wonder why I knit ;-)!
