Salmon Winter Olympics

We got more snow than Vancouver this last week:

It came just in time for our own Salmon Family Winter Olympics. The first event was the "speed dressing." Little girls were fighting to get outside and they didn't care what they were wearing. Lindy took the gold medal for keeping their excitement under control while they bundled up in half of their wardrobe.

The fashion at the opening ceremonies was expectedly a little interesting with the speed dressing event coinciding with the parade of nations.

Anya competed in the snowball fight, the-stay-on-your-feet-on-a-frozen-board-walk, and the snowman building events. She placed in all events except the snowball fight. (How can anyone make snowballs in those kids mittens that aren't even pliable?)

Yesterday, we were watching the Olympics and one of the commentator says, "The Austrian ski jump team is having a rough day..."

Just then, Anya, who was playing nearby with some toys, turns to the TV and says pointing to her sister, "Austria? Austria's right here!" :)
