We were very fortunate this year to be so close to where the Winter Olympics were being held in Vancouver. We had thought about going up and trying to get tickets...but unfortunately they were a little pricey. So we thought we would stay home and enjoy them from the comfort of our couch for free. Then Brother-in law Rolf informed us of another fun experience...The Holland Heiniken House. It is an arena that the Dutch take over and make into a giant Bar with huge screens, dutch food and dutch beer. It is very popular and the lines are generally 2hours long...that is if you don't have a Dutch passport. We don't of course...but Rolf does he went up all week...enjoying the speed skating, food and talking Dutch with fellow natives. Well on Saturday Rolf and Kate invited Jessie and Brett and Shane and I to join them. We were so excited for the opportunity to be a part of the excitement. Kate and I decided to surprise Rolf with matching orange shirts. We had a blast!!! We were even able to get downtown to see the craziness!! We made memories that will last a lifetime!! Thanks ROLF and KATE!!
The Ozone was a couple of blocks that they blocked off for different events and concerts. The HHH was inside.
This is the entrance. I should have take a picture of the lines!! With Rolf and the golden passport we were able to get right in!
Enjoying some Dutch Food and Dutch Beer!!
A fun picture in front of the Olympic Cauldron!!
Thanks to Kate...I got a great picture without the fence and you can even see the Olympic rings that they had floating out in the water.
Sisters...minus one!
(yeah I know) Here is a group shot!
The Dutch really know how to PARTY!! They had this dancing flame and were singing all these songs with motions!! It was AWESOME!!
This is what they set up the HHH for. The athletes come here after the medal ceremony and are treated like rock stars!! It was so much fun!! The guy that is being interviewed is the speed skater that would have won gold if his coach hadn't screwed up!
