Definitely cool that you experienced it, especially since it's in your neck of the woods. Oh and as for the team parades... I can go ahead and tell you that it was boring at home, too.

"What are they doing, Mommy? Who is that? Why do they have a big baby in there? Why are all those kids sleeping?"...etc, etc. Of course, ever since she saw and realized there is a REAL queen, it is all I have heard about.<br />So, my memories of the opening ceremonies were of educating a 4 year old on the monarchy...who kept wanting me to rewind the tv to see her again. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870727586415760333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648266294703204304.post-85699917441025484482012-08-01T03:44:05.602+01:002012-08-01T03:44:05.602+01:00So fun!
