Let the Games Begin!

Hello everyone! I am getting more and more excited as Wednesday, August 13th (the day we fly out) nears. We watched the opening ceremonies Friday night in awe! It was an amazing show! I hope that you didn't miss it! I have found myself glued to the television today trying to soak it all in. I am glad that I am ready to go at school, because I have lots to do to get ready to go at home. Wednesday, we fly from Denver to San Fransisco and then to Beijing. We arrive around 6:00 local time on August 14. Beijing is 13 hours ahead of us here in Cozad. I hope I can sleep on the plane! I plan to post pictures and news from China as much as possible when I arrive. I will see all of you second graders today at the open house!
