The CK Daily – Summer Olympics & 4th of July!
Happy Monday!
Who’s ready for the Summer Olympics? In 25 days the Summer Olympic Games will be kicking off in Paris, France. Over the weekend we watched some of the US team qualifying events including track and field and gymnastics, and these events are always exciting to watch. Along with those sports, I’m looking forward to watching BMX Freestyle, Skateboarding, Weight Lifting, Taekwondo, and Karate. The trampoline is also a fun watch as well! A lot of these sports weren’t even official Olympic sports when I was a kid, so it’s fun watching the beginnings and history in the makings. What are your favorite Olympic sports?
Fourth of July is around the corner, don’t forget we’ll be closed to celebrate our Independence! One of my Independence Day traditions, dating back to the mid-90s, is watching the 1996 Sci-Fi film, Independence Day. My favorite part of the film is the President’s speech before the Earth counterattacks against the aliens. It’s so inspiring. You can watch it here.
I hope you have a great day, a happy Independence Day, and a wonderful week!
