More March madness happening around here . . . But not really. Just more meets. And some other fun stuff . . .
Like this kid turning 19! It was our first kid-birthday without the kid at home . . . so sad! I was almost going to make elk-pasties in his honor but then decided to wait until he comes home. But . . . when we Facetimed that evening with Miles, what was Miles doing?! Making elk pasties! (Well he didn't buy elk but beef; but the next day he said it tasted just the same.) We had mailed him a few things, but most of his gift was a plane ticket to Germany. :) I also ordered he and his roommates some Crumbl cookies that were delivered to his apartment. And I guess his friends came over that night and celebrated his birthday with some banana splits. So it sounds like a decent day! But we missed sharing it with him.
The kids had a couple of days off from school. For no reason. On Thursday (only Lucy's school had this day off) Lucy's friend Ruby invited her cross-country skiing. So the two girls went with Ruby's mom. I was glad Lucy was invited somewhere because I was working all day. They had fun, even though the snow wasn't good.
After gymnastics, Lucy and three other friends went back to Ruby's house (Lucy spent most of the day, when not skiing, there) for a late-night. The next morning I drove around and picked up all the friends for a waffle breakfast. It was fun for the girls:
Sariana, Peyton, Ruby, and Lucy. The girls played all day and then ended at the gym for some more fun. (Lucky us who can use it when it's free!)
The next day was . . . you guessed it . . . another meet in Junction. We three girls went to the Stake RS meeting that morning and then rushed home to eat and get ready for the meet. Luckily Ben made this one with us.
Lucy was up first at Legacy. Lucy had a really good meet with getting solid scores on all events. She ended up placing (in order of vault, bars, beam, and floor) 6th, 3rd, 3rd, and 2nd. And on all-around she got 4th. Yay Lucy!
Emmy was up next. She had a bit of a rough start on the beam. She fell once, but didn't look really bad - however her score was quite low at a 7.575. It's hard to not think the all-around is lost with a low score. But there are still other events to show-up for . . . Floor was next and she had a bit too much power and went out of bounds. She got a good score, but it just wasn't the performance she wanted. She was quite frustrated going into vault. But managed a good, solid vault. Then she finished up with a great bar routine. For awards, we were kind of shocked . . . again in order of vault, bars, beam, floor, Emmy took 1st, 1st, 3rd, and 3rd. And all-around . . . 1st! Crazy! But it just shows you that others may have bad days, too, so just try your best on all events and who knows!? :)
We had a late night . . . with the meet ending at 9:30 and then driving home and then losing an hour that night. Boohoo.
In terms of gym meets, all that's left is state. We'll see how that all turns out with scheduling, etc.
Happy St. Patrick's day tomorrow!
