Watching the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics was an incredible experience. I was thrilled that my son Jackson got the chance to see such inspiring athletes.
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday.

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

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.
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!

Awesome! I would love to get my son to the Olympics at some point in his life. What an experience that must be. 🙂 Happy Wed!
I prefer the paralympics to the regular olympics. It’s so impressive and amazing and moving.
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!

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!

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.
Fantastic shot!
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!!!
Amazing what people can accomplish. Inspiring, really!
Brilliant photograph!
Wow, that is truly amazing.
