future Nadia’s

When I was growing up, one of the movies that my sister and I would regularly rent was “Nadia”.  I don’t know if you are familiar with the movie (and shame on you for not being familiar with such a classic!) but it is about Nadia Comaneci and how she scored a ton of perfect 10’s at the Montreal Olympics.

Here is also a clip from YouTube to let you know about the fabulousness of the 1984 movie:

You want to rent it, don’t you?

Well, this past weekend, we had our own little Olympic ceremony to attend.

Elyn was the first to “perform”:

Gathering with the rest of performers to get instructions from their teachers.

Not loving the warm-up so much-ha!

Finally, onto the “meet”…first thing, trampoline-her favorite!

Handstand

Check out the guns-ha ha ha!

Balance beam

Series of a cartwheel…

And this is when my camera quit working…someone (ahem, me) forgot to charge the battery the night before.  The rest of the pictures are very poor quality and will more than likely look horrible in the 2011 blog book. Ah well.

All done, tada!

Then, all the kids got to go to the team medal stand and get their “gold” medal.  So cute!

Elyn with her teacher, Ms. Karen.  She really loves Ms. Karen!

After an hour break and a breakfast at Chick fil A, we headed back for Nora’s portion (which was poorly photographed…I am so sorry Nora).

She liked the warm-up a little bit more than Elyn…

Ready to start the “meet”!

About to flip over on the bar…all alone!

Balance beam…

All done!

Waiting for the medal ceremony…

Her “gold” medal!!!!!!!!

Our little Nadia’s…perfect 10”s on our book!
