Olympic Torch

Today was a once-in-a-lifetime event for the community in which we live. Langley and Walnut Grove (our area of Langley) hosted the Olympic Torch Relay for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! The torch has traveled throughout Canada and is spending some time this week in our area before it arrives downtown for the Opening Ceremonies.

One of my favorite parts was the mobile dance party that came around before the torch... it reminded me so much of Tanzania! Kenya, too, actually. We were in Nairobi during the 2008 elections and passed a number of similar vehicles holding bands/dancers/loudspeakers.

Here are a few pictures. We bumped into some friends from our Life Group (the Martins) so Micaiah enjoyed playing with them as we waited.
How very, very exciting!!!
