2012-2013 Gymnastic season begins.

The first meet of the gymnastics season was held today in Greensboro. We left home a bit before 9 and were on time for check in and warm up at 10:15. The one big stress for me today was having to put Mariah's hair in a pony tail. I think this girl has more hair that a horse tail has and my arms were aching half way through and I had to dry the beads of sweat from my brow, it was a work out. I plan to get her to the hair salon or butcher if need be soon.
Mariah started the meet on the balance beam, I may have written before that this is one event that is truly hit or miss when she is on she nails it and the world is peaceful but when she is off its torture to watch. After her back walk over she bobbled for what seemed like ages but was a few seconds and finally fell but gave it one hell of a fight. I was trying to video the event with my new awesome camera and something came over me as usual and I threw my left leg in the air and missed the actual fall and re mount. My reaction is hilarious. Her score was 8.3 and I thought that was decent.
Vault she was a beast and nailed it. Floor is the best I have ever seen her perform and bars score was low but I thought she look awesome and clean. She won Bars, Vault, Floor and Overall and was so excited to get her medals but the snow globe with the dancer inside was truly the jackpot for her she was more than thrilled. We had a great linner with the team and stopped for a little shopping on the way home. We went to a party later and that will be another post tomorrow. I have got to get some sleep so that I can function tomorrow.
Praying for peace.
