1984 Olympics



In Honor of 2008 Olympics (08-08-08 at 8), Flashback Friday brings the Young Family at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Note all 7 wearing matching shirts (one of many trips to do so). I was 12 at the time so I thought if I wore overalls I would blend better with the crowd instead of a big family.

Ruth is my side kick, Alice is Tami's. And there is Joe peeking behind my shoulder.

Darn what a cute family :)

What a fun family photo and great memories. I can remember when you all wore fun matching outfits - your Mom loved that. Makes it easier to spot each other in a crowd too. Auntie Em

You need to do matching shirts a minimum of once a year at family gatherings!

I love the 80s!

I love the matching shirts. Great picture. Too bad I barely remember the Olympics back then!
