By far and away, the most exited event of the olympic so far was last night's swimming event. It was Michael Phelps', 2nd of 8 events to win gold in, and the one that was going to be the toughest. The French team have been really good and were talking trash about the Americans saying that they were going to smash the Americans.
We were behind going into the last leg, with the anchor for the French team being the current world record holder in that distance, but the American, Jason Lezak didn't give up and swam the fastest leg of this relay ever...at 32 years old. He had to make up about a full body lead by the French halfway through his leg, and he really burned it down the stretch. It was unbelievable, they smashed the world record in the process.

Take that Frenchies!
I also added a nifty little video viewer from NBC over on the right.
Olympic Fever
Olympic fever has hit the Wynn household, it has been the only thing on our TV since the opening ceremonies began.
Max has really liked Boxing so far, he calls it boom fighting. Ella is enjoying gymnastics right now and has worn only her gymnastic outfit and does her version of the routines in front of the tv for us. Swimming is also popular with both of them.

Call me Coach Chris
I signed up to be Ella's soccer coach, so I am now leading the Apopka Youth Soccer Under 5 team, the Apopka Pirates. I have 7 four year olds, I need to recruit an assistant coach and a team mom. We'll get practice started on August 26th, with our first game on September 20th.
Favorite new show
Well, thanks to everyone up in Michigan, Ninja Warrior is the family's new favorite show. The kids just went to bed, but before that they were creating obstacle courses around the furniture in the family room to play on. They just can't get enough of it.
A new look
I changed the way the website is hosted to make it a little bit easier, and cheaper. Pretty much everything, this site, our email, photos, videos, is all hosted by various google services. It has been down the last several days as everything has been getting transferred around in the great nebolous internets.
I'll be changing some of the graphics on the site pretty soon to look a little more personal.
