First Meet

This past Saturday Olivia had her very 1st gymnastics meet. She has been in gymnastics since she was about 2 years old...we started off in a parent/tot class with some friends and she has worked her way up to level 4. Liv goes 1 night a week for 3 hours (her coach wants her their 2 nights but we said no for now), and she has come along way in her skills since school has started. I think this girl is on her hands doing handstands more then she's on her feet...it's obvious that she loves it!

This weekend Liv decided that she only wanted to compete in two events for her 1st time and opted for the vault and bars. On the vault she scored an 8.5  & received a blue ribbon (the best
 you can get), and on bars her score was 7.0 & received a white ribbon (3rd best ribbon you can
 get). In addition to receiving her ribbons she also got a cute sling back back-pack and a lanyard with gymnastics written on it...gifts that they all got for entering in the meet. We took video of her and if I can figure out our new video camera I will post the video...it's so cute!

The girls are stretching (Liv is the one with her back to the camera)...
The girls lined up waiting for their turn at the vault (like I said in the basketball post, no action shots because the turn out blurry with my big lens)....

Way to go Olivia, we are so proud of you...you did an AWESOME job!!
