The Starlight Invite
On Friday night we headed over to Gainesville to spend time with Jason, Betsy, Wil, and Elsie. Unfortunately I didn't taken any pictures. We filled up on tacos, talked, and watched Ghost Busters. The next morning Betsy and I went for a 3.5 miles jog! Around lunch on Saturday we traveled to Jacksonville for Gracie's 2nd competition. Gracie improved in three of the four events, we are so proud! Her beam score actually went down a little (despite not falling off this time), but from what we understand the judges were judging more along the lines of what we will see at the state competition. We are using this experience as a positive one, because now we know what needs to be worked on. The competition was a lot more stiff, but Gracie rose to the occasion bringing home 3rd place on the vault, 4th on the bars, 6th on her floor routine, and 6th all around. After the occasion we met up with a quite a few teammates at Steak-n-Shake (kids eat free on the weekend). Zac was able to hang out with Hunter and Fisher, I really don't think they watched the competition at all.
