Olympic Parade

As mentionned in my last post, Gord was invited to be in the Canadian Olympic Team Parade.  So we all went down to be part of it and what a wonderful day it was!  It was a beautiful, warm day and it was quite funny to see all the athletes and torch bearers in their winter coats!  They must have sweat like crazy!

Anyway, funny story.  After Gord's torch relay back in Dec. 2009, anyone who wanted to see or touch his torch was warned about NOT touching the soot at the tip.  This was OFFICIAL Olympic soot, you know!  He did, however, forget to mention it to our nanny and guess what?  Two months later, she decided that it had to cleaned.  CLEANED!!!  All the official soot was removed and Gord had a heart attack!  But, he did not tell her and she thought she was dong something good.  Well, today, Gord was able to get his torch signed by 10 of the 14 gold medalists.  It was a perfect canvas for it as it was so clean!  So sometimes good things come out of a bad situation.  Except now he is obsessed with getting his torch signed by the remaining 4 gold medalists!  Oy-vey!! 

So, without further ado, here are some pictures of the day.
