All eyes were on Florida last night as "Family Olympics, 2008 - Wildwood" kicked off at Boone stadium. The opening events were simply the beginning of a 2-week celebration of culture and competition some call...the Summer Olympics.
The players: Atticus Jonah, Gabriel Wyatt, Ryan Sierra
The Officials: Daddy and Mommy
Atticus rocked the standing long jump with a whopping 52".
But it was Ryan who took the gold when height to jump ratio was considered.
Turns out white girls CAN jump!
Some groupies joined up part way through.
Reagan MacKenzie and Samantha Lee were tremendous assets to Team Boone.
The sprint was the favorite event of all five athletes.
The girls especially loved that the finish tape was hot pink.
NBC news crew scheduled to record the games were held up with flat tires.
Luckily we had out little digital camera.
(It reminds Paris of the old silent movies.)
The pole climbing event was harrowing.
And, of course, tree swinging.
Wyatt got perfect 10's.
The invasion of two monkeys into Olympic Stadium was something all in attendance are sure to remember for the rest of their lives.
We can only hope the Olympians in China have as good a time as we did.
(Doubtful.)

loving it...awesome, awesome!
Very cute!
So fun! Wish we could have come and watched! Miss you guys . . .
Would that all parents could be as fun as the two of you!
Okay, I laughed 'til I cried watching the clips and imagining the event. In my version the Olympic Theme Song is playing as loudly in your front yard as it is on my computer. I was narrating to Dad in my Sportscaster Voice over the music. Dumb NBC camera crew not having a decent spare! Next time send for me. I'll get the word out.
you're so funny!!! That looked like fun.
Looks like the kids had a blast!
Love it!
