Porch Jumping Olympics!

Well Agronomist, here we are at the Bungalow'56 2011 Winter Porch Jumping Olympics.
We haven't had this much excitement since watching these three athletes at the
Bungalow'56 2010 Summer Olympics.
Right here on these very same porch steps!

I know Dana, we are very happy to be able to bring this event to our viewers.
It will be an even more exciting competition, as this time there is a third athlete who has been training very hard and will be a close contender for the gold.

We have been witnessing some amazing take offs.
And Eldest here is making it very difficult for the athletes that are waiting their turn.

Yes Agronomsit, do you mind if I call you Ag?  

She has been working very hard over the past four months on her technique and is getting some real height.

This is her newest jump called the "Flying Eagle"
Annnnd... She NAILED IT!

This competition is heating up Dana.
Up next is Middlest.
This family has cornered the sport, and they are just getting better and better.

Now Agronomist, if you remember last year there was a real rivalry between these two.

Middlest is known for her fearlessness when it comes to this sport.

Her ability to catch air is next to none.

The other two will really have to work to be able to catch her.

The question is... will Middlest be able to do it?

Agronomist...I'm not sure if this will beat Eldest.

The Flying Eagle was spectacular!

But LOOK AT THIS!?

Dana I think she's got it. 

This "Air Arabesque" is technically perfect.

Look at that reach and with the arms outstretched,

it is a very difficult combination to create.

You're right Ag.

Middlest and Eldest are neck and neck.

Now it's time to find out what Youngest is capable of in her first ever Porch Jumping competition?

There She Is!

And She's trying?  Oh my goodness... it isn't... it is... oh no? 

It''s "The Flying Monkey!"
No one has tried that since 2008, when the neighbour kid attempted it.
...and he is still in traction.

Dana look at that height and the torso twist!

SHE HAS DONE IT!

Look at that smile on her face.

She knows she's got it.

That was AMAZING.

You're right Ag, even her landing was impeccable.

I think we have a new Porch Jumping Gold Medal Winner.

I wonder what the judges will decide?

We will have to wait for their comments to really know who has won this competition.

But just as we saw at the beginning of the event.

This competition is all about having fun.

And these sister athletes are as happy after the event as they are before.

We here at Bungalow'56 look forward to seeing what they will have for us at the next 

Summer Olympics, where Porch Jumping is sure to catch on.

This is Dana and The Agronomist
