To me, it seems like it would be impossible to lift anything with your eye sockets. What do you think? Have you tried timing yourself spinning a basketball?

I am not so sure I woudl want to lift anything with my eye sockets. But some of the other challenges sound like fun.

I would love to see a Diwali festival. All of the lights/candles and the colored sand pictures would be beautiful to see. They have many delicious treats that are eaten then, too. Sign me up for the trip!

that would be so great if you ended up in the olympics. I could tell everyone that I was your third grade teacher!

I wonder if his daughters have ever seen him make that expression before?

McKayla may have scowled because she wanted to win the gold medal.The picture of Barack Obama and McKayla is now etched in my mind.I like Barack Obama's scowl better. It's cool to see an established person like the President scowl. I wish people would remember McKayla for her talent not her scowl!

Wow! McKayla really did get to be a celebrity quickly! Michael Phelps is my favorite man and McKayla Maroney is my favorite women in the Olympics. What do you think the names of the people in the next summer Olympics will be? In four years, new tryouts will start.

I wonder if McKayla was surprised when she heard about becoming famous for her scowl? I think McKayla's scowl is better. President Obama's scowl looks fake to me. I think my little sister will might be in the Olympics, or another major gymnastics contest because she is good at gymnastics.

Mckayla is the luckiest girl in the whole world because she got to see our president in real life! I think that Mckayla and her gymnastic team should win another gold medal in the next four years. It must be fun to take a picture scowling with the president! I would think that if I had a choise for the cooliest gymnast in the olympics I would pick Mckayla Maroney. Being in the olympics must be hard because you have to practice over and over and over again and you have to past certain tests and different levels and challenges. When I grow up, I want to be in the gymnastic team in the Olympics.=)

Solar eclipses don't happen every day but I wish they did because they look so cool!!! portective sunglasses I so want to buy them. the sunglasses are probley riealy expencive so i'll just put it on my santa list.
