Gymnastics

We have good news!!

But first, some background... Brandi started gymnastics last February because she was always flipping around the house non-stop. I knew she'd be good at it. So I signed her up for classes. So this past June, the coaches evaluated the kids to see who they would recommend to be on the pre-team classes. And Brandi was one of them. So that meant that she would practice all summer long, 4 hours a week, learning back handsprings, and more difficult moves on the vault, bars, beams and the floor. So try-outs for the team were this past Monday where she had to do all sorts of things. She was really hoping to make the team. The team is divided into 3 groups: the Bronze, Silver and Gold. Bronze is the lowest team and Gold, obviously the highest team. Well, she made Silver!! Yay for Brandi! She is so happy. So now this means that she will continue to practice 4 hrs a week and will start competing in gymnastics meets with other gymnasts from other areas. Pretty cool, isn't it? We think she has come a long ways in 6 months of practice!! Here are a few pictures- they're not great- it was hard to get a good picture.

Congratulations, Brandi!!
