Victorian State Pennant 2008

Yesterday Meg and her team competed at the Stste Pennant Zone Qualifications. The top 3 teams went though to the finals next weekend. The team didnt make it through, and we didnt expect them to, but Meg had another fabulous competition! She nailed beam, had great floor and bar routines, but most importantly- she had the courage to attempt the Front Sault vault... AND.... she landed them both!!

The photos arent great- but they prove she did it! And I think the smiles tell the whole story!

There was relief all around when the top 3 teams were announced.... relief for me because it means I wont miss seeing my baby compete in State finals as I'll be in Sydney next weekend, relief for Steven coz it means he doesnt have to undergo a crash course in gymnastics hair styling if Mum wasnt here to do it, and relief for Meg because it means she can go to the Scout rollerblading with Tom on Wednesday night (I had to have the chat with her that if they made it through she wouldnt be able to go rollerblading just in case she broke a bone- it would put the whole team out of state finals!)

And that now completes the 2008 competition season!! Now I have to scrap the photos! LOL!

Tom didnt come to the gymnastics yesterday as he was playing the role of Joseph in the church play! He had also spent hours and hours putting together a slide show presentation fo the song "remember the Lord". Tom and I had so much fun taking the photos for the "shower" line!

Steven and Meg and I went along to the rehersal on Saturday afternoon so we could see the play, and Bo and Great Granny were at Church yesterday to see it all! And it was a great thrill for Tom becuase he went for his first ever ride in Bo's very old 1969 (? could be a year or two out on that!) Black Ford Fairlane!!
