We have been glued to the TV for the past 2 weeks watching event after event from the London Olympics. We loved seeing the girls from the Gymnastics team take home the team gold, cheered on Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings as they won their 3rd gold in Beach Volleyball, and learned a lot about Water Polo watching Maggie and Jessica Steffens (sisters from Danville) win gold as well.
The highlight for us, though, was watching all of the incredible soccer on display over the past 2 weeks. Allison loves Hope Solo and wants to be just like her and we love Alex Morgan, Abby Wambach and Megan Rapinoe! We have watched every game and cheered on the USA in victory after victory. The semifinal against Canada was one of the most emotional games I've ever watched!
Today's game against Japan was fantastic too! Hope Solo had several amazing saves,
Carli Lloyd had two beautiful goals,
and Abby Wambach was a true leader for all 90 minutes!
Congratulations to the USA Women's team...TRUE CHAMPIONS!!!
