Just got back a few hours ago from my daughters gymnastic meet in Calavaras, CA, the “Sweet Heart Invitational”. I always enjoy the trip because of the scenery…..gold country! The bad part is I’m not a morning person and we had to leave at 6:30 AM.
Anyway, Hannah did pretty good: Vault 7.60 3rd; Bar 8.60 1st; Beam 8.35 3rd; Floor 8.00 2nd; All-Around 2nd and our team, Tumble Time Gymnastics, placed first! So it was a good day for all.

These are GREAT Mike! I love the focus and concentration on her face! She was giving it her all. Fabulous photos! Way to go Hannah!
Thanks Michelle, I’ll let her know.
Mike……….we have our OWN version of the Olympics here.
Great looking pictures of a very talented young lady……..she most certainly looks very poised in every shot.
