Gymnastics Recital

 Ava, Olivia, and Claire all took gymnastics lessons at the same studio this year.  Their end-of-year recital was held last week.  Knowing that seating would be an issue, Owen and I arrived and hour and a half early.  This worked great because we ended up being able to score seats on the second row.  There were no seats left when the show started (people were standing and sitting on the floor), so I was really happy that we went early.  Even though our seats were good, a lot of my photos did not turn out well due to lighting and lots of movement.

Claire's routine, "Aladdin" was first.  She did a great job.  She hit all of her marks and did well with her tumbling.

 Following Claire's routine was Ava's "Pink Panther" number.  Ava is a really good gymnast, and she did a great job (as usual).

 Olivia's routine was later in the show (after intermission).  She was in the "Olympics" number.  She had been working hard on her bridge, cartwheels, and headstand, and she did well on those.  Even though I enjoyed the recital, I felt that it would never end.  It started at 7:30 and didn't get over until about 10:30.  It was a long night, but the girls did well and had a great time.
