Pre State weekend fun

Below are the videos of the lastest weekend of tumbling. It was a busy weekend right off the bat. We went to Iowa Falls for a private lesson and then stopped off for Subway. Vickie and Steve joined us for subs. Then we were off to our friend Steph and Aaron's to spend night. We were up early to hit the golden arches for a quick bit to eat and then to Indianola for trampoline and double mini. Kenzie took 4th in both, good, but need to do better with State around the corner. Katie took first on tramp and tied for 3rd on double mini. That night we headed to the hotel for swimming, pizza and cool bouncy ball fun. The next morning brought nerves due to competition and weather. The girls did great on their passes. Both girls took 2nd and if they do a repeat at State will make it to Nationals in Texas. We had to have a friend video Katie so I could close my eyes and ears while she performs. A little trick I learned from a fellow mom to ease the nerves. IT WORKS, if you don't peak between the fingers.
We got news during the meet that the road home was closed due to weather, so we stayed another night in a hotel, this time it was VERY nice. The pool was the hit until I put an end to the outside pool. The pool had an air curtain between the outside and inside and while outside they were throwing snowballs at each other in the pool. All was fine, the indside pool had a hot tub, sauna and lots of girls splashing. The next morning we were up, had breakfast and headed home. Several cars still in the ditch, but once we reached north Iowa, all was clear. The girls stayed home from school and got ready to head back to the gym for more practice for State.
Our weekend started off a little rough, Ally got into a car accident and crunched her car up pretty good. She is fine, little shook up but doing ok. As soon as we can download the pictures from her phone we will post.
