Supporting GP!

Our niece, Gracie (Gracelynn Paige - GP), has turned into quite the little gymnast over the course of the last few years. What started out as glorified tumbling is now full fledged gymanstics with meets, routines, competitions and medals. When Grandpa Joe built Gracie her first "beam" a few years ago for Christmas we had no idea that she would turn out to be a 3rd place, all-around, state champ!

The whole family turned out for the big event that was held at Sammamish High School, including the Twinners! (We think Avigail might be the next gymnast in the family as she simply cannot take her eyes off the action.) The only issue with it being held a high school gymnasium, this one in particular, is that it was about a million degrees in the stands. Especially on the upper deck where we were seated. The whole family watched and sat, in what felt like a sauna, for 4 hours so we were very pleased when our little Gracie took 3rd!

Note: The twins aren't normally in diapers in public...but it was SO hot in the gym that we simply had to strip them down in order to keep them from bursting into flames. If the other spectators wouldn't have minded, we might have been sitting in our skibbies too. Lucky babies...

Avigail just finished telling Uncle B she wants to be a gymnast too!
