In the video, you'll see that Ben and I are standing in front of a bus. We were all on the sidewalk, but they just stopped traffic when the torch was coming so everyone just piled into the street instead. Watching it now, I'm pretty sure Ben didn't even see the torch. The video is unfortunately nowhere near as exciting as it was to be there, but proof nonetheless!

Today's great adventure was going to see the Olympic torch run by. Honestly, Ben was not so thrilled to be there. First he was bored in the carrier, then it rained for 5 minutes, then Grandma put ANOTHER hat on his head and covered his hands, then it was crazy loud when the various vans/police/screaming people went by and Ben had had enough and freaked out. But it was one of those once in a lifetime moments, so I'm glad we went. My only regret is that I should have taken Ben out of the carrier and held him so that he could actually see. I have no idea if that would have helped or not since Ben only likes loud noises when he makes them.

My parents took me to see Olympic stuff when it was in LA in 1984. I remember nothing about it but it's totally cool to see pictures of myself there. Ben will get a kick out of it in the future when he looks at those snap shots one day.
