Danielle's First Meet

On Saturday December 1st, Danielle had her first meet at gym. This was an in-house meet so it technically is not a real meet but it is for the gymnasts to get a feel for what a meet is. She was not nervous at all. She actually had a blast at the meet.

Her placements:

Bars - 2nd place 9.2

Beam - 6th place 7.4

Floor - 3rd place 9.1

Vault - 4th place 8.9

All-Around - 2nd place.

We were very proud of her. She didn't freeze up at all. She knew her routines and only made a few slight mistakes. It was a good experience for her and has brought the spark back into gym again.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Back Home

Well we returned from out trip to Michigan. I think we all had a really nice time. It snowed on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. We played in the snow in our PJ's. Then we woke up the next morning and had almost 3 inches on the ground. It was so beautiful. Still wouldn't mind moving there.

We enjoyed the company, our walks in the woods, shooting Dad's BB gun and eating strange food like squirell, deer, buffalo and Snicker Salad (its the bomb baby). Danielle liked the deer meat although she had no idea it was deer until the next day when my Dad and Mario told her.

We got to have snowball fights, make a sad little snowman, Danielle made snow angels.

Now back at home, Danielle went back to school after vacation. Tonight she has her first competition at gym. She is very excited about that. So am I but also nervous for her.

That's about all for now.
