We woke up Saturday morning to snow on the ground. First time this winter and we had to head to a gymnastics competition at 8 in the morning. It was only in Cordova, but seemed to take forever to get there. Mimi amd Boo Boo joined us for their first competition experience. I am so glad they were there! Nonna didnt make this one but will be joining us in Nashville in a few weeks.
Maddie did great!! She placed 1st in bar and vault, which have been her weaker events in the past. She actually scored higher than anyone else in her level on vault, not just in her group. She was very wobbly on the beam and fell off once. She only scored an 8.3 on floor, which is normally her best score. The weird thing is we can't figure out what she did wrong. She was a little ahead of the music, but we were surprised at that score. That is the crazy thing about this sport-we still don't really know how all the judging works.
She placed 2nd in the overall and this was her best meet so far. This is the only one we didnt video:( The gym was small and I wouldn't have been able to get her up close anyway. Usually Nonna gets all the good pictures so all I have are pics from the awards ceremony. Turner and Harper have done so well at these competitions. Turner gets so bored but he manages to hold it together pretty well. We are normally there about 4 hours and poor kids are just sitting there. Proud of all three of our kiddos!!
Maddie has a big sister in gymnastics so after her session, she and I stayed to watch her. We watched her on vault and bars, and she ended up placing first overall in her group. Maddie loves her and enjoyed hanging out with a few of her friends and watching. By the time we left, the snow was gone and the roads were clear. It was a fun morning!
