Olympic Torch in Cochrane

The Olympic Torch came through Cochrane this morning, so we all went to see it. The girls all put Canadian flag tattoos on their faces. The whole town came out to celebrate! We were lucky, the relay flame exchange happend right in front of us. The guy waiting to have his torch lit, came and let the kids touch it.













I had my mittens on and didn't snap the picture at the right time. This was either just before or just after the kids touched the torch.






A Coke truck was handing out special Olympic bottles of coke. We had to get some because we know Nanny likes to collect coke bottles. Although the kids are sure they are going to be worth a lot of money some day. But Mandy says she'll still give hers to Nanny.
