Megan's Gymnastics Exhibition

We had our first experience with Gymnastics Exhibition Friday at 3:30. There are so many kids that they can't get them all in on Saturday, and they have to start really early on Friday. Do you think Megan will still be interested in a few years? We saw some boys in Level 4 through 8, and it took Megan all year to finish the first half of Level 1!


Here's the vault. Last year you could really tell when megan hit the springboard from the sound it made, but she's moved up to a sturdier model, and it doesn't produce the same effect, but it does help her jump!


Work on the bars is the scariest thing Megan has encountered. With a special private lesson, she's proficient at some basic skills.


Megan really enjoys the beam! Too bad they're way in the back and hard to get good pictures of.

She hardly ever falls off anymore...


That's cousin Lena checking out the action, while Megan and her group do their Best of Both Worlds routine.

Tumbling anyone?


OK, now to get back up...


What a beautiful medal! Megan's a star for sure.


Here's what Megan's first Level 1 star looks like.

That's the medal that all of the participants got. The red star for the first half of Level 1 looks like this:
