The girls had a "home meet" on May 7th. It was a smallish meet (well for the Gold and Platinum levels) and so the pressure felt a little lower, which is always nice! Emmy invited her YW leaders and one came - along with her husband, the bishop. So that was fun. Ben was also able to come and he hasn't been able to make any of Emmy's meets and so that was a bonus for us all. Both girls did well! Emmy had her one and only fall (during a competition) on the beam, but still received a good score. Lucy's bars wasn't a great score, but still managed to get her 2nd place on bars (that's what you get with a small competition pool). But the girls still looked great and both managed to get 1st all-around (plus other firsts in other events, but I don't remember them all). What's important is 1st all-around, haha. They had a good time and it was a fun way to end their competition season of 2022.
The Champion Sisters:
The carnival was happening that weekend. My kids really like going - even though it is expensive. It's worth it to them! The kids all went, most of them a couple of times, and enjoyed the ride. A professional photographer took this picture of Lucy and her best-friend Lila and posted it on some Facebook page. Adorable.
Emmy finished up her track season at a meet in Gunnison. I had the day off and so decided to go. It wouldn't have been a big deal if there wasn't road construction/closure happening meaning that the hour and a quarter drive home would be a 3-hour drive home. Waaaaa. But it was her last one and I hadn't been able to make the other two, so I had a very long day . . . It was fun watching her - but not fun when she was upset-crying after her mile - she wanted to PR and didn't. She competed in the 400m and got 2nd in her heat (not overall). She also was in some medley and her team got 2nd. She had fun just hanging out with her friends, once she got over her disappointment in her 1600m (the mile) run. I think her best mile time was 6:48. At Gunnison she got 6:52.
