The London Olympic Games 2012

An amazing day at the London 2012 Olympics on Wednesday...so exciting, can't quite believe we were there...but here's the proof...

Team Monis arriving at the Olympic Park.
  Can you guess who we're supporting?  Come on Team GB!!  The Olympic Park had a lovely relaxed and joyous atmosphere and the native wild flowers were simply stunning.

In the Olympic Basketball Arena 
First we saw Australia beat Brazil and then Russia take on Team GB.  The crowd support was deafening for Team GB (mainly Miss M and Miss E with their Olympic Boom Sticks!!)  and although they fought back to come within 3 points of Russia in the closing minutes, Russia managed to stay ahead and win the game. 

Enjoying the Olympic Park
After the basketball we met up again with Grandma and Grandad who had been to see the hockey and then caught up with the news on the large screens of Team GB's first gold medals for Helen Glover and Heather Stanning and then Bradley Wiggins who Miss E claims "Bagley Diggins is my best friend in the whole world" 

Thank you London 2012...a day to remember
