The Olympic Flame

The torch has been through our home and in our hearts tonight as the 2012 Games officially began.  The Olympics is one of the last great family events most of carry memories of and long to create new ones.  I ignited my daughters fire tonight by crafting a torch (she and her friends carried them around all night), playing our own version of the mini-olympics (hoola-hoop, sack race and limbo), complete with Gold, Silver and Bronze medals (she was devastated to earn only Bronze in two events).  I hope this tradition remains in her memory as a joyful childhood moment, but if it doesn't...it will always be in mine.
