an olympic day

This cute coca-cola bear was at the "young athletes" program at special Olympics. He had on the famous blue and white scarf and a cute button. The button said I love NYSSA! How fun is that!

Here is the cool torch that the company "women of steel" made for the torch ceremony. the flame burns here. you go girls!
This was a very cold chair... thank goodness it wasn't in a long TIME OUT. It was a cool ice sculpture that was useful and yes, my pants were wet.
I have on my official volunteer coat, scarf, and badge.
This olympian was so adorable. She did an awesome job ice skating and when she skated off the ice her coach was over cheering her on. The athlete jumped on her coach like a little child does into the arms, it was so precious!

Here is a group of us at Qwest arena with the ice skating. Robert, a former special olympian, me, Kathryn, the famous "scarf lady" who collected 55, 256 scarves for special olympics, and Misty an employee. It was a great day and fun to see the olympian strutting their stuff!
