Olympic Park

















On Friday, we decided to give Olympic Park a try. The girls could see the ski slopes among other things as we were driving around and it was hard to explain it to them. It was still VERY cold, and there was still snow on the ground but we made the best of it.

Upon entering the museum there were different sleds/skeletons and what not for visitors to try out. The girls thought it was pretty cool. I loved putting all three of them in the bobsled. It made me think of the movie Cool Runnings. And if Jamaica can have a Bobsled team, surely the Schultz family can too! After that we watched several video clips of different Winter Olympic events. The girls couldn't believe all the twist and turns and flips that some people would do on their skis. The best part was when Bug said she wanted to go "Skeeting".

After finishing up in the museum we wanted to go up and see some of the actual trails and what not that they actually used in the Olympics but because of the cold and the snow, they weren't taking shuttles up. But the girls were super excited just to see the training pool. And since we were outside Daddy, Leah and Bug busted out into a snowball fight. Hattie and I ran for cover!
