Lucy participated for the first time in a spectacular, this time for Cardinal Gymnastics. We nixed the idea her first two years in gymnastics because she was just too little, but our gymnastics buddies talked us into it this year. It seems like it's the fundraiser for the program as all the girls have to purchase leotards and then we paid admission. I suppose all dance/gymnastics/etc shows are like that. Even at school I've got extra duties to take money for tickets where last week I sat in the middle school gym and charged adults $2 apiece for the pleasure of watching their 7th graders play volleyball.

The kids got to "warm up" on the mats in the gymnasium next to CGA. Lucy practiced somersaults and the candle.
Tumblebugs gathered to wait for their turn to perform.
I swear they practiced this dance 15 minutes a class for about 2 months before the show. It was still a hysterical wreck. Nobody really remembered much, but they were little enough that it was adorable.
Lucy's #1. Yes, I wish I could claim that title but not a chance on earth.

Next year (IF we do the show again) she'll be with the bigger girls (IF
she stays in gymnastics) and show skills on either the beam or bars.
The transition from little to big has been a bit rough for Lucy, with a
couple of class switches and a less-than-enthusiastic coach. We'll see
what the spring brings. If she does continue and do the show you should expect to hear about it around Halloween sometime next year :)
