For thirty years Alabama has hosted their own mini Olympics, or State Games. The televised opening ceremonies began on Friday night with all of the athletes marching into the BJCC with fireworks to honor wounded veterans. The AL Sports Festival Committee had family members of wounded vets present them with a medal, it was so sweet to watch an elderly lady place that medal around her husband's neck only two rows in front of us. Gracie competed on Saturday and brought home 1st place All Around, 1st place on bars, 3rd on beam, and 4th on vault and floor. Her team won 1st place too!
