Waiting for the parade to start.
Go Team China!
Go Team Ethiopia!
As the Ethiopian flag went by and everyone was yelling and cheering, Thad screamed "That's for me, that's for me!"
Go Team Guatemala!
Then started our own parade of the nations
each kiddo carried their country's flag.
 |
| Go China, Go Ethiopia, Go Guatemala, Go USA! |

| The cheering was loud and fun as each country paraded and held their flag high! |
Other funny side notes that made this year's opening ceremony even more fun......
These kids rarely see a tv commercial, so of course tonight they watched lots of commercials and it added to the entertainment. During the Fruit of Loom commercial where the gymnasts are doing gymnastics in their underwear, Dax literally fell off the couch laughing at someone on tv in their underwear!
And when the flag bearer from Swaziland had his close up, Graci said "OooohLaLa! Red hair! I want him to be my prince and when we get married I will tell him that when I was little I saw him on tv!"
