Eugene has been gearing up for the Track & Field Olympic Trials for years, and the exciting day finally came!
Jessie and Adam arrived at the airport ready to celebrate and enjoy the trials.
You just gotta have your picture with the Eugene Olympic track duck.
A couple of hours later Abbi and Chad joined us.

Here we all are, heading through the University of Oregon Campus on our way to historic Hayward Field. The 1980 Olympic trials for track & field were held here also.
Adam knows how to dress appropriately!
We ran into Bryan Floyd on our way into the trials. He is a family friend who was on the Churchill High School track team with Audra a few years back. It was so fun to see him again!

Here we are catching up on all Bryan's news.
At the Friday evening trials we enjoyed dinner as well as the events.
Here we are after Friday Evening's events were complete, Hayward Field in the background.

One last parting shot after Saturday's events. Now we can't wait for 8-8-08 and the Olympics begin in Beijing, China! But the BEST part of the whole thing was having Abbi, Chad, Adam and Jessie with us! What a great way to celebrate the 4th!

How fun! I would have loved to see the track and field trials! That's great you have family in town.
The pictures are awesome!! What a neat opportunity too. We've been watching the trials on tv. We should have been watching for you in the audience.hahah..I'm glad the kids could come out to enjoy it with you too.
We've been wondering how you enjoyed everything. I wish we could have ALL been together.
I should have been there!
So neat that you saw Bryan Floyd. I wish I could have seen him too.
Looks like you had a great weekend. So good your kids could be together.
That would have so fun to see! I wish I could have been there!
