And another day is gone...

Well, it was an exciting Sunday for us. Becca had her Gymnastics end of year program. This is her 2nd year in instruction and she has moved up a class, so we were not sure what to expect. We were wowed to say the least. She was one of 2 advanced girls in gymnastics, and one of 4 advanced overall. There were about 15 girls and 1 boy in the program. The gym did 4 individual programs this year, and I really liked the smaller class size.

Becca surprised us with back handsprings on the trampoline, on the "cheese mat" (which is shaped like a wedge of cheese) and on the floor. She has come so far in such a short time. She was also good on the bars and great on the beam. Despite it all, she finished with her favorite two tricks... running cartwheel and then a one handed cartwheel.

From there it was out to a late lunch at the place of her choice. She chose Hooters, so we went out for wings, and she spent half the time hula hooping with a hoop as tall as her! Quite a sight!

Got some of my magnets laid out, and I am looking forward to getting the printing started. I think I said I would need 5 weekends to do it all and I am guessing that I am right on the money. It is a time consuming thing to download them and lay them out in a word doc. i am hoping that they will print OK. As a test, I will need to just print in color first and see if they are what I want... Such decisions!

I also got a bit ahead on things, and did a mini packing test with all of my dinner clothing and some of my shorts and a couple of Becca's dresses. This (my dressy stuff)is what will take the most room, and weight (I think). I filled half of the large suitcase and was under 30 lbs. The suitcase weighs in at 14 pounds, so I am doing good. We will check 4 bags of clothing, carry on a bag with 2 days of clothing just for Barcelona and 3 other carry on bags of stuff... I am much less worried about space now that the first test is done.

More later!
