Proud of our local gold!

Brittney Reese, a coast local, won Olympic Gold in London!  She won the long jump gold with a jump over 23 feet!  We showed the kids the distance and it was the length of our whole family room, absolutely unbelievable!  We wanted to be part of the celebration to welcome her back to her hometown, so we headed to the airport for the festivities.  It was so exciting to chant "U.S.A, U.S.A and WAY TO GO BRITTNEY, WAY TO GO."  Well, exciting for most of us, Addison was a little sleepy and kept asking why everyone kept screaming.  Our cousin-in-love, Darius, is in town visiting so he joined us in the celebration;)

And here is Brittney with her gold medal, unbelievable.  So happy for her and her family.  Way to go Brittney!  Go U.S.A!!!
