Walkabout

With the Olympic Plague (hacking wheezing ear-infecting terrible cold) there wasn't as much time to enjoy the weather and get out walking, but we did manage a jaunt around the Spirea Trail with Grandma D and Mac. Here's some pics:

We got to three curling matches, including the men's tiebreaker (Great Britain/Sweden) and the women's goldmedal - I mean, silver medal - game. Miz V enjoyed hanging out with Grandma D for two of the games, but came along for the fun of the tiebreaker. It was remarkable to be in such a raucous crowd at a curling game - doing the wave, ringing cowbells - at times it felt more like a football game (but in a good way). Below is a blurry snapshot of an avid fan - yes, he IS painted red and wearing Canadian flag y-front underpants.
And here are some pics of us at the curling venue. Note the festive green rings!

Plenty of Fish

In our Olympic down time, we had a nice detour to the Aquarium, where fish were admired, and in some cases, groped. Slideshow has some highlights

V-Dawg has a Brand New Bed

Sometime this year, the crib (used by all the Thomson grandchildren) will be handed down yet again to another bebe Thomson, and so Miz V gets to move into some plush new night digs.

Here's a slideshow of V demonstrating the exciting features of this particular bed.

Olympic Peekaboo with Uncle T!

Miz V and Uncle T ventured up the mountain to partake of the men's 50K x-country marathon (the traditional last event of the Winter Games). A fun spectating time was had by all, especially when it came to the hot new game of patriotic peekaboo
