Watching the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics was an incredible experience. I was thrilled that my son Jackson got the chance to see such inspiring athletes.

That does look like an amazing sport.
Wow, that is truly amazing.
Brilliant photograph!
Amazing what people can accomplish. Inspiring, really!
Awesome picture Janice!! It was so exciting to meet some paralympian curlers when they were in town praticing. Of course McKenna’s favorite memory the chocolate from the Swiss team!!!
Fantastic shot!
I wish these games were shown on television as are the Olympics. I get even more inspired by these athletes and I would love for my children to see them compete as well. That was a great opportunity you got to share w/Jackson.
My first Wordless Wednesday! I knew it was time when I saw what happened to my bread today while I was gone for a few hours. Sad!

No excuses! In our weakness He makes us strong!
Wow, what a truly inspiring photo – it must have been an amazing experience to see in person!
I can only gain interest in a couple of sports, however WinterWitch swears I should take up watching hockey, she swears by it.
I think it would be so neat to watch it in person! How cool that you had the opportunity to see it live and in action!
What a great shot and such an amazing experience for all of you!
That is just way cool!!

That’s really cool!
So inspiring to see! Thanks so much for sharing – it’s amazing what people are capable of when they put their mind and hearts to it!
I’m in Kitchen Project Limbo today – all my appliances are getting a change of scenery and my kitchen feels HUGE!
But we’re primed and ready to go – whenever the flooring guys get here!

What an awesome experience. Very cool!
That is an incredible opportunity that you seized!!
Awesome, I’d love for my kids to see that!
That is inspiring and looks so much harder than regular hockey!
That is pretty hardcore!
I’m constantly amazed by what people can push themselves to do, despite what we’d consider “setbacks”. How inspiring!
I’d love for you to stop by again and link your Wordless Wednesday post up on my linky. My post is up and let’s just say that The Monkey Needs a Drink!

Wish there was as much coverage for these Olympics as there was for the other Olympics last month. These athletes are so inspiring! So glad you got to share the moment with your son!
I will visit WW participants slowly but surely. Using a different…OLD…computer and it’s not working so hot.

Wow, those are some very tough athletes! How cool that you got to share that experience with your son.
That absolutely is inspiring!
That is so awesome and inspiring.. just imagine saying ‘I can’t’ when you can see something like this.
What a great inspiration. And a reminder for me to quit feel sorry for myself. Learn to live with one’s limitations.
Those are always the most amazing athletes. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow! That must have been an experience. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Very interesting sport.
