Last Meet of the Season

The girls had their last gymnastics meet of the season this past Sunday. This was a farily big meet compared to the last one, as there were a total of five gyms. They did well and had a pretty good time (something about those cheesy trophies at the end!!). They are still in recreational level which means they give the girls an individual score in each of their four events, but they don't score them against each other. Since they contend they don't really like gymnastics, they will probably just continue in the recreational level until they find something they do like (or we get sick of paying for it!!).

Nick, on the other hand, is moving up!! They sent home summer placement notices last week and his came with an "invitation" to move up from the boy's pre-team, which they moved him up to mid-year this past year, to the boy's 4A team. I think they start competing at this level; if not this one then when he moves up to the next team (Level 5) he will. He was VERY excited!! He does not have a great love for gymnastics either, but it did his little ego GOOD to be invited to "the team". So he will likely continue through the summer with the six hour a week workouts.
Below are just a couple of clips from the meet.


All chalked up and waiting for their turn on the bars.



And the big payoff....the trophy!!
