First just the twins, Ethan and Tristan were watching and waving their Team GB Fingers!
Ethan could not keep still and was jumping up and down waving and cheering the parade.
All the noise attracted some of the others and a small group gathered.
Ethan could not believe it when Claire Balding spoke to Tom Daley his hero, he had to get up close and then it was hard to get him to move back!
The boy's loved seeing the helicopter's flying past.
He thought it was funny watching all the people turn facing the sky as the planes flew overhead,
When the Red Arrows appeared , the other's shouting finally got Ethan to move back.
Lots of hooing and arring went on while the Red Arrows passed
Caused a slight worry when they all decided that maybe they would like to be Red Arrow Pilot's but what about being Olympic cyclist, swimmers etc!!!! When Callie said why could they not do both! A big sigh of relief was heard and all the boy's were again happily cheering!
Callie was very impressed seeing Princess Anne and Prince Edward and waved convinced that they were waving back at her! and not the athlete's on the lorry.
Ethan dashed back up to the TV to point out a man he was sure was the man called Julian something or other who was supposed to be hiding in an embassy somewhere or other and demanded that someone call the police! It took a few minutes before he agreed that he was just an innocent man in the crowd.
Lots of noise in the room for Sarah Story and Sir Chris Hoy and demands for new bikes each so they can train hard!
Lots of the Athlete's outside the Palace.
One of the Paralympian's three medal's one of each, Gold, Silver and Bronze, the kid's were awestruck!
Once all the celebration's are over the boy's are outside on the bike and the scooter , Toby helping Morgan stay on, while Ethan gives Tristan a lift , making plan's to compete against all comers for the glory of winning GOLD!
keep practising boys - you'll get your gold one day if you work hard enough.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! So inventive! The idea of actually taking photos of them watching the tv and letting us all in on the picture - great stuff! If the boys have the same kind of perseverence as their 'mum' they will surely achieve their dream of becoming OLYMPIANS! xxx Karin
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I loved your 'kids' watching TV... I know I could start ANOTHER FUND for their own television :)
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely superb post!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so much clearer and better on your flat screen TV than on my 16 year old one! Now thinking maybe a doll or two will have to depart from here to provide one for me (never mind one for Ronnie's Sasha kids!)
Will enjoy scrolling back here now and then to refresh my memory of this truly magnificent event.
Loved the way Ethan was pointing out everything with his 'Dood' GB Team finger to make sure that no-one was missing anything. (Could have done with him here with me!)
I agree with Callie (noticed that she is still in her red dress for the occasion) that it did indeed look as though Princess Anne and Prince Edward were actually waving to her personally.
The aircraft flypast, especially the now famous Red Arrows, were spectacular. Judith (of Dollydoodles) actually emailed me to say that she had just seen the four Helicopters fly over her house on their way towards Buckingham Palace so I was ready and waiting for those to appear.
I'm so proud of the UK for their hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games (all the venues were magnificent and the TV coverage excellent) and full of respect and admiration for all the athletes who took part in both the Olympic and Paralympic Events. I only hope that they have inspired the future generations (including our Sasha Doll kids) to do as well.
Sasha love and thanks again Dee (and the other bloggers for their contributions) for this wonderful tribute. From Kendal.
PS. My daily prayers were answered and thankfully no terrorist attacks occurred to mar this wonderful gathering of the world's top athletes.
I have to echo Kendal's comments. It has been a wonderful year for Gt Britain! The Jubilee Celebrations, the Olympics and Paralympics - the people of Britain have shown the world just what can be made to happen when everyone works together in hope and joy and with optimism for the future! Let's try and hold on to that and hope that it will inspire our leaders! And yes, finally, hip, hip hooray Andy! Well done! xxx karin
