This week on Friday Favorites, we hear from Mrs. Ihle!
"Every 4 years, I get to watch my absolute favorite thing - the Olympics! I love watching athletes at the top of their game passionately compete for their countries. These athletes have worked hard and sacrificed so much to get to this stage, and I love seeing them put their whole heart out there in hopes of bringing home the Gold. As an athlete myself, there is nothing better to watch."
Are you watching the Olympics? What have you enjoyed so far?
