We are still having a great time chatting with all the athletes and their families.
Today we had fun posting pictures at Twitter/WendyRatel. Follow the link to see some great shots.
Boys taller than Nicole, she was in heaven.
Nicole’s favorite of the day was having her photo taken with the basketball team from Cleveland, Ohio. Nicole is 6′ tall, so to have these wonderfully tall guys hanging out was fantastic.
Nicole was able to share her own basketball story. Basketball season is very short, but very intense. Shoes remain in the locker with her books and clothes when she’s not practicing. After a few practices, everything stunk. She took a set of SportzGemz to school and put the smaller pouches in her shoes and left the larger one to work in her locker. Overnight the smell was gone from her locker and the lockers of the two other basketball players who were close by. Everyone was very happy.
We also has a chance to talk with Scott from Medicine Hat. Scott’s hockey team had just been eliminated in overtime. He said it was a great game and was not happy with the loss, although he was glad to be done and have some time to check out Vancouver. Scott’s off the check out the West Coast Trail for the next week or so and enjoy the hospitality of Vancouver
Renee’s friend says he’ll be by tomorrow to pick up his SportzGemz. He’s also trying to persuade Renee that she should talk to our neighbour across the way and get a spray on tatoo of moons and stars.
Had to have the photo of the guy in the bathrobe.
This was a photo we just had to have. When you see a guy walking down a road in a bathrobe, there has to be a story. This is the only time, so far, we have “paid” for a picture. We had to trade a set of Footwear Fresh-N (our 2 piece set) for this photo. Our friend told us that he wouldn’t smile and had to wear his sunglasses! Even with all the rules, it was worth it!
As you can see, Nicole is having a great time. How many other young girls can say they have had their photo taken with men from all over the world, and what better people than the police and firemen – we should be very safe!
More to come!
