Kami read on a sign last night on our way to church that the Olympic Torch would be passing through Quebec and St. Augustin. So, today she bundled up the kids and went to see this once in a lifetime event. (I stayed home to work on my not-so-once-in-a-lifetime French homework.....)
They arrived in St. Augustin (where we meet for church....Eglise Bapiste de St-Augustin) 30 minutes early. They said that the crowds showed up about 5 minutes before the Torch arrived.
Here are some school kids holding signs of "Vancouver 2010".
The Torch Bearer's son was holding a sign for his dad that said "Le porteur de flambeau c'est mon Papa....Go Papa!" (in case you cannot read french, it says: The carrier of the torch is my dad!) He then jumped right in and ran along side his dad.
Here is my wonderful kids enjoying some hot chocolate on a cold, rainy day. (The brown building behind them is where we meet for church)
I sure am glad to have a wife that loves to do great outings with our children!
