My Olympic Gold moment!!

How cool! Mark Johnson from the 1980 US gold metal winning hockey team ("Do you believe in miracles??") is the UW Madison's women's hockey coach now. We (Rec Sports) asked if he would speak at our Big Ten Rec Sport conference and he said ... yes. He brought the gold metal and just passed it around! He spoke for over an hour on the entire experience. He also attends our church and did a service several years ago where his metal was passes around. So, I have actually seen this gold metal twice. Still very cool!! I went up to speak with him after his speech and I got my picture taken with him (and the hockey puck he signed for me)!! I don't know what the deal was with the camera as the color is all weird, but still - it's him!!

Another Sleeper shot!!

I just don't know how they can sleep like this. But, the actually sleep better with each other ....

Riding Outside!!

The weather warmed up enough to allow for outside riding!! What an adventure! Acacia just LOVED this!! She did amazing especially given the terrain was not even at all! Way cool!! She is hoping she can ride outside the week too!!
