And She Brought It

Kira had a super busy day yesterday with a soccer game in the morning and a gymnastics meet all afternoon.  I was a little worried that she would be pooped for the meet, but she brought her A game yesterday.  In her age group, she placed first on floor, first on bars, fourth on beam and sixth on vault.  The most wonderful score was she placed first in all around.  She was beaming from ear to ear and we are so proud of her.  The best thing is, her bar routine was the best I've ever seen her perform and her walk out onto the floor for her floor routine looked so professional. 

 Here's her practice vault. 

 Here's one of her first place rankings.  I really need to get a telephoto lens on my camera.

Turkey Trot

Today, the family trucked it down to downtown Miamisburg for the 34th annual Turkey Trot.  Dave ran in the 5k and Kira and I did the 1 mile fun walk.  There were 8,500 people at this event this morning and downtown Miamisburg isn't that big of a place, so there were people everywhere.  People dressed like pilgrims, people dressed like turkeys and people in turkey hats (where do you even buy a turkey hat?)  It was amusing because if you ran/walked in the 5k, you got the Mayor starting the race with a starter gun, music blaring and encouragement from a DJ.  If you walked in the 1 mile, you got some guy standing at the end of the street who half heartedly waved us on with a "go" and there really wasn't a finish line.  Dave ran buy us on our walk and screamed "hey" to us as he ran by.  Kira and I cheered Dave across the finish line.  Kira and I enjoyed telling Dave how our "race" was started.  Kira does a perfect wave and a lackluster "go" impression.

My hair looks frightful today because it was down right cold at the race and I wore earmuffs.  Brrrr.  I'm still having trouble warming up and it's actually going to be 64 degrees today.  Gotta love Ohio weather! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
