Here is a short video to let you know what it looked like from the point of view of the live audience rather than the TV audience. We recently watched the DVD of the Opening Ceremonies that NBC produced. It's great, but we were disappointed that there wasn't one for the Closing Ceremonies!

Trip Album
Click here to view this photo book.
Here is the final, edited copy. I think it's so cool that I can show it right on my blog! I have the hardcopy now, and I am definitely hooked on making digital photobooks! It is beautiful. This would have taken me so long the old-fashioned way.

Training for the Closing Ceremonies
When we arrived at the closing ceremonies, there was a bag of goodies on each seat! Several of these items were to be used as props for audience participation in the closing ceremonies. Here's a glimpse of our "practice session."

A Night at Track and Field
This is definitely not NBC-TV coverage, but this video lets you see what it was like from a spectator's point of view. Our 11yo son was the amateur camera man for the 200m with Usain Bolt. He was a fan of Wallace Spearman of Arkansas, so he focused on him, and you can also hear him yelling for him in the background.

A Happy Ending
While we were at the women's softball finals at the Olympic games, Rebecca discovered that she had lost one of her trading pins - a part of the valuable "2008" set that Panasonic had given us. She wasn't trading this pin - only wearing it to "show that she was a serious trader." Well, a "2008" set isn't much good if it's only a "208" set instead, and Rebecca was definitely upset. We looked and looked as did all the crowd sitting around us. We found all sorts of stuff, but no pin. Then just as we were giving up, she looked on the bottom of her shoe, and there it was! We all had a good laugh, and you can especially hear Terry laughing on the video.
