February 3

Emma had her first gymnastic meet today. I think I was more nervous than she was. I know Jane was. This is the team waiting their turn on bars. I told Emma I wouldn't take any pictures of her competing so that I wouldn't distract her. I handed my camera to one of the other fathers and told him fire at will. We got a few good ones. This picture best describes the gymnastics experience. A bunch of sitting around broken up by four very short moments of sheer panic. "Salute! don't for get to salute!"
