Olympics!!

Day 2 begins and we decide to a see a few London sights before heading to Olympic Park.

 Jenna is modelling in front of the traditionally understood 'flat' aka apartment.

 In Regent Park we find one of many London Eye mascots. Decide to have a little fun with this guy.

 We set the timer on the camera and ran over to the bridge...when the rail almost gave way, we were pretty thankful we didn't end up swimming!

 "The Olympic rings were this big." Haha,  Jenna excited to be at the Olympic park.

Olympic Fever 

 Tower Bridge.

 DAY 3:  Here we are at Horse Guards Parade, the stadium for the Olympics Beach Volleyball!!!! Situated just east of Buckingham palace in the heart of London.  Jenna's pretty excited with her ticket!!

 Our awesome seats!!  It was such a perfect sunny day...very rare for London!

We watched 4 games...2 women and 2 men's games

1.  Mauritius vs Czech Republic (woman)

- pretty neat to see since Uncle Lekh is from Mauritius

2.  Switzerland vs China (woman)

- such a good game!  we were cheering for the Swiss, but they lost in a tight game

3.  CANADA vs Norway (men)

- we were so surprised that we got to watch Canada play!! even though they lost...

4.  South Africa vs Lativa (men)

- who knew Lativa was so good at beach volleyball?!

The fountain and lion at Trafalgar Square.

London Eye Ferris Wheel.  We were amazed by how many people they can put in each of those pods.  We thought about going on, but then decided pictures of it were a cheaper memory!

Buckingham Palace!!  Always wanted to see these guards that rarely move.  We wonder what he's watching under that hat!
