4th Meet of the Season

Last weekend Ally's gymnastics club hosted a meet. I had volunteered as the "volunteer co-chair" which meant I spent all weekend at the gym. Literally. Friday set up 430-800pm. Saturday 730am-630pm and Sunday 730am-100pm, then home to get Ally ready for her competition and then back to the gym 400-830pm.
I was SUPER tired by the end of the weekend. A huge thanks to Grandma Debbie for flying in for a long weekend. She was able to see the meet, and spend lots of time with Ally.

We just took video of this meet but got a wonderful picture afterwards and before.

 Ally rode to the meet with me in my car, and Becky and Debbie drove separately. I was going to have to stay late and help out with clean up. It was FANTASTIC - Ally was great on the way to the meet. The past couple of meets she has gotten sick or yucky feeling with nerves in the car but not this time. She was excited and feeling good.

Judging was much tighter than the last meet (we missed that one in Florida) and it seemed the strictest judging all year. Ally said that her coach told them as the year progresses the judges get harder but even she was confused by her low floor score. But all of the competitors had low scores. And Ally was thrilled with how she did. We are so very proud of her. She works so hard and takes her roll on the team seriously. She placed 3 in the all around for her age group.

 Here she is with her trophy and her medals! 

This meet had a Beach Party theme and at the end of the competition each team dressed up, Ally's team were lifeguards! So cute.

Scores this week:
Vault 9.2
Bars 9.15
Beam 9.125
Floor 8.65

I learned a lot this weekend spending so much time at the meet, and talking with so many other parents. It was a really good time.
