Alright.... today was the quarterfinals so we now know who we are going to play (drum roll please)........... Australia. They beat China in their quarterfinal and then on the other side the dutch beat Italy so they will advance and play Hungary in the semi's on the other side! So yeah, we are excited to know who we are playing and ready to focus on them and get ready to play on Tuesday (well Tuesday here, that makes it Monday really late--I guess technically Tuesday morning--for you guys back in the states). These few days we have used and are using to decompress from the last game and just get ready for the next one. We are all very excited! ALSO.... Petie was able to hook us up with Mr. Flip Video (the guy that invented the flip video cameras) and he gave the whole team each their own flip video!!! It is flippin' amazing!!!!!! I am very excited so thank you Mr. Flip Video and anyone that is looking for a really easy to use, small, perfectly crafted video camera..... check out the flip video, they are really cool!! And don't worry I will be making some fun videos while we are here and I will post them after I get home because we are not allowed to post ANY video on our blogs (blogging rules here at the Olympics) so yeah be excited about videos afterwards and also more photos of the team and venue and such (those are also banned right now)! Okay...... I'm starving so I have to go eat in the GIANT dining hall.... hope all is well with everyone!
