Emma at the State Meet

Since this is a catchup post, I won't give the blow-by-blow.

Emma took 2nd at the State competition on Saturday, June 19th. There were two tied for 1st - one of them teammate Jenessa. So, she was 2nd, behind two competitors, hehe.

Emma had worn huge blisters into the palms of both her hands the Saturday before, practicing for two hours on her bar routine while Maya was doing her recital. She had only a week for them to heal. Had she not done that, I am confident she would have taken First Place.

Well, we learn from every experience. She will definitely know not to do that next year!

We were all very well pleased with her.

Thanks for Gramma, Kim, and the cousins for making it there and being her cheering section!
