Thank you for the updates and the pictures you have posted throughout the Games. As a parent who was not able to attend due to work committments, I truly appreciated being able to see and read what my 2 daughters were experiencing during these last 4 days. Thank you Kimberley/Cranbrook for hosting these games. After speaking on the phone with my daughters, I can assure you that they had (in their words) A BLAST!!!!
