Gym meet fun

Tonight we wrapped up the girls' summer gymnastics program with a meet. All 4 grandparents came up to watch them 'compete' (it's really all for fun, but they are judged, given places and an all-around). 
This was Sidney's second meet and by far, she is a teeny one in her level. You can see in the picture below that most of the girls are significantly older than she is. But she keeps up with them and is loving her time in gymnastics.

I think what amazes me most, is their confidence and fearless attitude. No way could I place my hands on a beam and even attempt, let alone succeed, at doing a cartwheel. And at age 4 or 7 nonetheless! 

But they do it and make it look effortless and fun! 

Regan came out on top of her level this time around. She actually understands the whole "first place" and gave it all she had tonight.....not so much during her weekly practices. She went to bed so very proud of herself, and we are too! 

Yea, I think they had some fun today :)
