Gymnastics Anyone?

We had a full weekend of gymnastics!  Payton had her first competition on Saturday and then her end of the year performance on Sunday.  She is on the first level of the competition team so she only has one meet.  We arrived a the gym on Saturday at 8:00 in the morning to practice for Sunday's performance.  In the mean time, Mike took Carson and Aidan to a wrestling tournament in St. James. We were done with the practice at 10:00 but only had a one hour break before we had to be back to the gym for warm ups for Saturday's event.  Warm ups started at 11 and went to 1:00 with the competition starting at 1:30.  Payton was extremely nervous but once she got started with her warm ups and getting the feel for things you could tell she was having fun.

Mike ended up getting to Payton's competition late due to the high volume of wrestlers.  Carson placed second only missing first place by a one point loss in his final match.  So proud of him and how much better he is getting!!

Payton did so great as well and I was so proud of her.  It is hard to describe the feeling you have as a parent watching your child accomplish huge things.  The competition didn't get over until 5:30 and we were ready to get out of the gym!!  BUT...we turned around on Sunday and went back!  Mike's parents came to watch her performance on Sunday and then we all went out for ice cream afterward.

By this time, our weekend was over!  Crazy times in the gym!!

Here are some pics of Payton at her performance:
