We had a our first gymnastics meet of 2009 yesterday in Hilton Head Island, S.C. I was surprised that I wasn't as nervous as I normally am at meets. Tori-bug doesn't seem to ever be nervous prior to them, but her mommy worries enough for both of us. Last year she won this meet on Level 2 with a first place win on bars and beam. Beam last year was 9.2 and bars was 9.175. This year she had 12 gymnasts in her age group and she placed 3rd. on bars with a 9.575!!! I am extremely proud of that score, but totally surprised she got 3rd. She also got 5th. place on floor and 5th. place all-around. Really not bad for our first meet. Her overall score was the highest out of our level with a 35.45. This probably doesn't make any sense to people without gymnastics knowledge, but everyone knows a perfect score is 10.0 and a 9.575 is really good for an 8-year-old. She rocked!!! We only have one week before the next meet in Dahlonega.
We decided to stay an extra day in Hilton Head, I mean we are at the beach so hey.....
We had to wear gloves and coats to walk on the beach, but it has been warmer this year than last. We are staying in an absolutely gorgeous condo. So glad we decided to take the extra day and relax today. We are going to surprise our friends on Sunday in Savannah and attend their church. He was our youth minister for 8 years and last year moved to Savannah to be the head minister of a church there. Savannah is just a few miles from here.
