Team USA Women's Volleyball returns home

One really cool thing about living in Colorado Springs is having the USA Olympic Training center in town which means that we are 'home' for many of the Olympic athletes. Last night my volleyball-playing daughter got a huge thrill when the USA Women's Volleyball Team returned home from Beijing with their silver medals.

I had to be at a photography meeting so DeAnna took her hand at shooting (not her normal thing!) and brought back some fine work ;)

The plane landed at the Colorado Springs airport to quite a few young fans who had brought flags and welcome home signs...as well as a few volleyballs for autographs!
