Olympic Enthusiast

Grace is in the know when it comes to Olympic talk. Especially when it comes to Speed Skating. She really really really likes Apolo, but her favorite Olympian this year was Jordan Malone.
Jordan attended her elementary school long ago. Gracie's class made posters to show their support. It ended up in the local paper and on the news.

Last night, Grace was able to meet Jordan. She wore her Jordan Malone t-shirt which she purchased with her own money ($20.00 in quarters :). She got to hold his bronze medal. It was a memorable night for Grace!











It's not everyday that you get to meet an Olympian!

Grace that's so awesome!!!!!! We are so excited for you to meet an Olympian, and one that use to go to your school. Wish we could have been able to watch it, but we are excited that you enjoyed it so much. The athletes sure work hard to prepare for the Olympics, don't they? Next Olympics, lets plan to watch them together. Way to go, Jordan Malone!
