Paralympics 2012

We had the honor and pleasure of getting to know Zena Cole, the U.S. Bronze Medalist in the 2012 Paralympic Games Women's Discus Throw. She is simply inspiring as an athlete, a mother and a spokesperson for UNICEF polio.

Olympics 2012

Friends flew in to enjoy the Olympics. We met them at Heathrow Airport and went directly to the Beach Volleyball Court at the Horseguards Parade. We saw Brazil take on Poland , and the USA take on Latvia. Although the USA lost be just a few points, it was amazing to be there to cheer them on! GO USA!

The Dancers at the game. The Rackey-Rackey team (those who raked the court) was also made a regular appearance.


S'mores in our back garden, using chocolate digestives rather than graham crackers and hersheys. Delicious
