Emily's gymnastics team has been given the opportunity to compete in one of the nation's largest gymnastics meets in January. Wanna guess where we are going? I'll give you a few hints.- You will need coins.
- Lots of shows.
- You can travel the world in just this one city.
There are 12 girls traveling and let me tell you, most of these kids have no idea where Las Vegas is, but they know they get to ride on an airplane, for a long time, to get there. They also know that the gym Nastia Liukin (the Carly Patterson of this upcoming Olympics) is from will be there. And boy are they excited.
I have to say I am very proud of my daughter. This will be an expensive trip between airfare, hotel, food, meet entry expenses, and spending money. She told us that she would trade in her Christmas presents and birthday presents (her b-day is in Jan.) towards the trip if that would help us decide to let her go. She also has told my parents the same. And she has offered to help work the fundraisers the gym is having to help go towards the trip. I, of course, will be a chaperon so it will be a neat mother/daughter experience for us.
We booked our tickets tonight, so watch out Vegas... the Jacobs' gals are coming to town.
