A few flips!

We had a family night on Friday night and went to see BYU Women's Gymnastics Team take on top ranked Utah. The girls really enjoyed it. We found out that our Michelle T was bringing her daughter Makenna and a friend Bailey who are about the same ages as our girls. They joined us as well as Aimee W (a HS Senior) who was a top gymnast until she recently stopped due to back injuries. Taylor thought it was pretty cool that Aimee knows all but 1 of the BYU gymnasts. Our girls really enjoyed getting out to do something fun and seeing the gymnasts. Alyssa loved floor best. Jessic and Taylor both loved the bars the best although I think floor was a close second for Taylor. Taylor has been showing an interest in gymnastics recently and this has encouraged that. She was quite glad when we made the decision to pull her and Jess out of dance for financial reasons. She actually cheered and danced around the house. We hope to be able to put Jess back in dance but Taylor wants to give gymnastics a try. While we were watching the Cougars do floor routines, I noticed Taylor copying all their arm movements including a "strong finish". It was really cute.
