The Special Olympics World Winter Games came to Boise last week! It was so fun to go to the festival downtown and experience a few events throughout the week.
Tyler all bundled up not quite sure why he is out in 30 degree weather. 
I was all excited to get a great picture with athletes from another country, but the only team I could find on this particular night was an Alpine skiing team from Liechtenstein and they hardly spoke any English. So this was the best shot I could get after my attempt at talking to them!

The Flame!
So I cut off the top of his head, but this Coca-Cola bear was the coolest thing!
At the floor hockey event we found a team from Kuwait. These guys were so fun and wanted to take tons of pictures. Especially with the babies. Tyler wasn't having it though - he screamed louder than I've ever heard him scream before because they kept taking him out of my arms.
Drake was a little more cooperative than Tyler.

USA vs. Afghanistan floor hockey. It's kind of hard to tell, but check out the size difference. It looked like 20 year men playing against 9 year old little boys. Who knows, maybe they were.
USA vs. Egypt
At the speed skating event. This was the best picture I could get - the place was jam packed with people and we ended up sitting on the floor because the seats were full. At least it was the front row.
I loved this picture! The skaters are representing Chinese Taipai. Such a great experience for us to get to watch these wonderful athletes!
