First gymnastics meet


Saturday was L's first gymnastics meet.  It was a big one, with over 72 level 2 girls competing from ages 4 to 18.  There were about 20 competing in her age 8 group.  They then break that group down to 10 in each and give out medals on all the events.(bar, beam, floor and vault)  Medals are given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and ribbons for 4th and 5th.  She did earn medal for 8th place in overall score for all the events in her age group.  She was so proud!  I am so glad they do try to give something out to all the girls.  

The whole event was pretty interesting to watch. Some of these girls came out of the room with 4 or 5 first place medals around their neck.  I hope to be able to post some video of her competing in one of the other up coming meets.   We had AG with us, so for most of the time D and I were taking turns walking around with her.  This is not a place to take 15 month olds!!

Congratulations L we are so proud of you!
