Gym-tastic!

As you all know, my daughter Elizabeth is a gymnastics superstar.  Ok, maybe she's not a superstar yet but she has a natural talent for bouncing, climbing and flipping making her perfect for this sport.  She started gymnastics about a year ago as a birthday gift and has loved it ever since!

 This was Elizabeth's first day of gymnastics.

OOPS!

Apparently it was also my first day using a camera.  Geez!

  

And she participated in her first gymnastics competition last April!

  

Elizabeth placed 3rd in Vault, 2nd on Bars, 1st on Beam and 2nd in Floor

giving her 3rd Place overall!

After a month off since the move, we decided to go check out our new gymnastics home

where the coaches tested her skills.  Although she needs to work on her flip overs,

they moved her directly into Level 3!

Since Elizabeth was starting at a Level 3, the coach was nice enough to give her the Level 1 and Level 2 ribbons :)  And, in spite of the long drive once a week, I think we are going to like our new gym!
