Today was Abby's second gymnastics meet ever. This one wasn't at our home gym, so I didn't have any other responsibilities except to watch and cheer. This gym was laid out a little differently than ours. Some events were easier to see (and photograph), others were harder.
I should warn you that this post is very picture heavy. You know, it is grandparent/family post for those who don't get to make it to Abby's meets. If you aren't one of those, feel free to skip this one. :)
Okay, so here we go....
This is the Marching in of teams. Abby got to help lead in hers. She is first in line on the left.
Here she is waiting to warm up on the beam. She's second in line. You can tell she spotted me, because I got a smile. :)
From here on out, many of the pictures are kind of blurry because I am so not a sports photographer, but I wanted to share them anyway. Still warming up...

Now for the judges- She did awesome.
Floor Routine- her other strongest event
I didn't get pictures of Vault or Uneven Bars, they just weren't in locations where it was possible from where we were sitting. But, it worked out because her best two events were Balance Beam and Floor.
We did learn from experience and talking to veteran parents not to put to much into the scores they get. Judges all judge a little differently. For example, Abby did better on her Bars today than her last meet, but her score was lower by 1.2 points (that seems like a ton to me!).
For those of you who want to know actual scores, here they are:
Vault: 7.7, Bars: 5.2, Beam: 8.1, Floor: 8.3
She came in third on her team overall, and fifth out of all the 7 year old Level 2's at the meet. We are so very proud of her. She did her best and had fun.
Here she is getting her medal and doing the "salute!"
