Grumpa called us this morning at 8am to remind us that the torch was coming through town , so Logan and I decided to go support Canada with Grumpa. Luckily Grumpa made it to our house by 8:45am and then we drove into town to catch a glimpse of the relay. The main street was lined with people wearing red and white, carrying flags and making noise from the choirs and bands from the schools nearby. It was quite an event.
Here we are carrying the torches that Logan helped make at school.
Future Olympic Athlete? or perhaps torch bearer?
So happy to hold his torch and hang out with his class mates just behind me and the camera.
Checking it out.
Watching as the real torch passes in front of us.
The passing of the flame!! The cheers were loud.

There it goes.
Check out the flame!! We could feel the heat radiate off of it........no not really ; )
Finally it arrives!
Watching the torch come down the street.
Waiting patiently in the snow bank.
It was a brisk -12 degrees this morning.
We made it on time!
