The Royal Festival

Kaly and Ayla with flowers from Gma Becky and Gpa Mark!

The girls were able to participate in their first gymnastics competition, The Royal Festival. It was so exciting to see them performing the skills they have been developing the last couple of years. Kali started her team off on the beam. I knew very little about the scoring, so when I heard the man next to us say in amazement that the score on the beam was a 9.0. I said "really that was my daughter, is that good?" He said yes that is great. That started the night with a lot of excitement.

Kaly's scores:

vault-7.7/9

bars-8.7/10

beam-9.0/10 5th place in her age group

floor-9.35/10

all around-34.75 7th place in her age group

Ayla's scores:

vault-6.6/9 5th place in her age group

bars-8.2/10 5th place in her age group

beam-7.9/10

floor-8.9/10 4th place in her age group

all around-31.6 5th place in her age group

Grandpa Mark and Grandma Becky and a friend all joined us for the event. We had a great time trying to keep track of the scores and watching all of the girls perform. It was very crowded and hard to get great pictures so we went to my sister Aimee's for a little photo shoot.
