"Walking a balance beam, 4 inches wide and 4 feet high, teaches a young girl to concentrate on where she is going in life.  She quickly learns when to put her foot down and when to leap for her dreams."

Brooklynn has now been doing gymnastics since she was 18 months old and watching her grow, improve and love the sport has made me so proud.  This is her second year competing at gymnastics meets and it is amazing how much she has improved from last year.  This year we traveled to Clarkston, Washington and Spokane, Washington in January.  We headed to a big meet in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in February and last weekend finished up the season with a meet in Missoula. Brooklynn repeatedly won first on uneven bars and placed in the top 3 in the all around.  She also worked very hard on her cartwheel on balance beam and stuck the cartwheel 3 out of the 4 meets. Below are some of my favorite pictures from this competitive season.

Brooklynn was so surprised/happy to place 3rd at such a big meet.
