2021 Gymnastics season

After many months conditioning over zoom, nursing a broken finger back to health and watching in-house meets over zoom, Emmy finally got to compete - live! She finished off the season with two meets - states in Sacramento and Regionals in Reno. We really went from nothing to traveling everywhere! I am always so impressed by her dedication, strength and composure. I could never do what she does, I am so proud :) 
She placed 3rd on beam at states and 10th all around and then 2nd on beam and 4th all around at regionals! She pulled off her first ever back walkover on beam at regionals. I was so nervous for her but she landed it and got 2nd - wahoo! 

State Meet in Sacramento







Regionals - Reno

Emmy couldn't fathom why anyone would gamble in a smokey casino and I couldn't agree more!


We ordered everything to our room because we didn't want to walk around it was so gross. These pretzels arrived (yes we ordered 2) and they were bigger than our heads!


It was nearly impossible to get an uber in Reno - super annoying. So rather than wait 45 minutes we decided to walk from the mall, 1 mile to dinner. Under the freeway and all - ahaha. She was not a happy camper but it is all part of the adventure ;) 


Team dinner and my first time eating at a restaurant in over a year. We really just jumped in and ate at a crowded Olive Garden....

It took us 9 hours to get home after a 3 hour layover in phoenix where I lost my drivers license ;p
