Corn Flakes: The Olympics are Coming!

We are closing in on the 2024 Olympics and I cannot wait! I’m super bummed that the swim trials are not in Omaha this year. It would’ve been great to try and take my little swimmer to them. I guess we’ll just have to settle for watching them on TV.

My favorite Olympic events to watch are swimming, gymnastics, and track. What are you most excited to see?

Here are your flakes.
