Paralympic Games - September 2012


This year was definitely the most attended sport event year for all of us. Figure Skating Championships in January, Wimbledon in June, Olympics and finally, the great Paralympics Games. We were very pleased to be able to get tickets and be part of a such an inspirational event. Seeing these great athletes compete in the Games gave us shivers on the spine and had lots of tears of joy and appreciation watching them. We were there for only one day, but we took the girls with us and experienced quite a few of sport events. In the morning, we went to the Excel Arena and saw Wheelchair Fencing and Boccia and in the evening, we returned to the Olympic Park and saw the final session of the swimming finals. Great experience, great memories and a wonderful day spent as a family and enjoying sport.
