All I can say about the opening ceremonies last night is WOW! At first, when I brought up watching the opening ceremonies, Munchkin wasn’t at all interested. Then, I turned it on. She couldn’t take her eyes off the screen as beautiful, awe inspiring images passed before her. I allowed her to stay up way too late, but it was so worth it.

Munchkin was inspired by our shark study to create this sea scape. I think it’s quite creative, but I’m a bit biased. lol! She created this “shaggy dog” during another creative session.
