Emery's Trophy

Emery had her first gymnastics meet. It started off with a little warm up dance. She wouldn't do it. She just stared ahead. She is so shy and gets really embarrassed doing anything in front of people. (I wonder where she got that?!?!)

The first event was the "vault". They are supposed to run and jump off the board with two feet and land on their feet on the mat. She is really good at it in class, but here she just walked as slow as possible......

then stepped onto the mat. She was supposed to raise her arms and say "ta da", but that for sure was not happening!

She got a little more comfortable when they moved to the bar. She did what she was supposed to........

until the "ta da". Her coach gave her a little help.

She got even more brave when they moved to the beam.

And had a huge blurry dismount, but still no ta da!

On to the floor.....

Then a little more waiting.........

for what she came for..........................

She has been a little jealous of Mitchell's trophy collection and now has one of her own!
