Unsure if I’ll get down to take a photo, but here’s two I took during the Olympics in 2010. Man that was a crazy fun event.

This before they installed a fountain under and around the cauldron. These photos don't show you the metal fence with barbed wire they had installed to keep people out of the area, out of fear of protestors/vandals.
The love is for the beautiful pictures. Sad about the need to worry about vandalism.

It's why when the games ended they built a fountain around/under the cauldron.

I think the Olympics are always quite divisive for the host country, so people of course protested and were against the games and spending money on them. The cauldron was definitely a high target during that 2 weeks, which the fence made sure nothing bad happened.

I have been to one Olympics. Lake Placid in 1980. I was 8 at the time. My mom was working for a tour operating company and she was tapped to lead a tour group. So, I got to go along. She actually had tickets to the US hockey games. She gave them away and got ice dancing and speed skating tickets instead. I was bored by the ice dancing, and freezing during the speed skating. (It was outdoors.). I wasn’t a hockey fan at the time; I became one a few years later. Now I wish I would have been one then for to have seen those games, wow. One of my favorite movies now is Miracle.

That would be so cool to see the Olympics and too bad you missed out on the Miracle on Ice live. Miracle is a great movie! When we go to hockey games in St. Paul we often walk past the statue of Herb Brooks and I think about that movie. Maybe that's what I'll put on tonight when I fall asleep.

We have one active AP. When we go to Uni in May, I could send dh into Epcot to get one. :hilarious: I wonder if the lines will be long. Which one will be out in May?

That would be so cool! The Donald one is available until April 19th and then the Orange bird one is available from April 20-June 1st.

It is faint through the window @dryerlintfan bit you can see how pretty at least Cinderella is toward the bottom of the comforter. The sheets are bolder colors. The set is beautiful and I’m not a Princess kinda girl
