World of Adventure Sports
We had a viewing post for this show on Sunday. Sadly, we only caught a little bit of it with most of us only catching the last 20-30 minutes or nothing at all. This is so that doesn't happen again. Episodes will be airing all the way until December 19th. I've added some videos under the cuts so you can get an idea of what we'll be seeing. I don't know what will be shown but I doubt it will be much since it's only an hour long. If the vids aren't showing up if you can, try another browser. Two of them aren't showing up in Chrome for me sometimes. They show up in Firefox though. I'll update with direct links to the vids when I get back to my computer. Done!

These are post tag-alongs. They don't really need their own posts and the one about kids I'd been trying to make one for since yesterday. Ultimately I don't think it actually needs to be posted by itself so it's going here. This took me forever. You don't know how happy I am to finally click post.

- The Maine Winter Sports Center is among the 8 finalist for the FIS SnowKidz Award. Read about it here. I think it's nice because hopefully the programs that the center has going will be helpful for any young Olympians-to-be.
- This one is about the Youth Olympics which I didn't even know existed.
