Olympic basketball


We had a really fun day yesterday that included watching Olympic basketball! (A big thanks to Becky, Johnny and Hazel for taking Gavin yesterday and OVERNIGHT.) The first game we saw was Brazil vs. Argentina. It was a pretty close, exciting game. Unfortunately Brazil lost; but you can see us cheering them on below.
 Then (after 10pm) the next game started: USA vs. Australia! It was so exciting to see Team USA with all the NBA superstars! Below, see LeBron James shooting free throws. In the 4th quarter Kobe Bryant shot 4 or 5 straight 3-pointers. It was so exciting! (We won 119-86.)
 Part of the fun was painting our faces and changing into our red, white and blue between games.
We didn't get home until after 2am. Can you tell it's late by our tired eyes as we took the tube to our car? We still had an amazing time! Go Team USA!
