Back from State Finals

We are back from State Finals and our gymnast did not do as well as we thought she could have.  Big Dad has a great perspective on all of this which I will share at a later date, but i think he is right on.  Our entire team was off, but it has been a weird week. As many of you know, we had a small fire at our gym last Monday which in itself was not huge, but activated the sprinkler system.  All of our equipment and floors were soaked and ruined.  We will most likely be displaced for workout space for at least 2 months.  On the bright side, another semi-local gym has opened their doors to us and has allowed our team girls to work out there.  Not a small thing, as we are a huge team of rambunctious and unsocialized wild girls who happen to be exceptional gymnasts (also great singers) Anyone heard 7 nine-year old girls belting the song "Super-Girl" for 9 miles in a closed car?  Good Times!! We carpool now!  Honestly I am not complaining.  It is true joy for me to see my daughter having so much fun.  She loves her team, she loves what she is doing, she is so happy.  Worth it!!
