Saturday it rained most of the day so Sunday morning we grabbed the opportunity to go down to the beach for two hours before we needed to checkout at the hotel, thankfully we got late checkout so that was cool. The girls actually swam Friday when we got to the hotel, the pool water was heart attack cold, they are not normally open so early in the season but because our weather has been crazy, they opened it but still it was dreadfully cold.
They had a nice indoor pool and a couple of Jacuzzi's which the girls enjoyed more, our entire squad stayed at either our hotel or the hotel next door so it was nice they could meet up at the pool and socialize together, really was a great weekend. Anyway here is a pic of our three girls on the beach.
The girls in the middle which you can't see is Kadey's older sister which was a great help to us with babysitting the weekend too, gave us adults some time to relax without the kids, it's the first time really I have allowed Jade to go off at the beach without an adult, it scared me a little but they stayed together and that was good.
This is the video from the second days competition. Remember to double click to open it if you can't see it full screen.
Our girls once again did amazingly and came second in their division, they were only beaten by 3 points but again it was one of those things that is totally fair but was yucky, they lost to a team that had been competing in level 3 all year long and came down into level 2 just for this competition, again all middle school girls but this time with lots of tumblers and really good stunts, they totally deserved to win but it was a let down for our girls. We had no deductions which is amazing so had they competed with a more fair competitor they stood a good chance to win ... but then there is always next year !!! I am very proud of them, they did amazing and over two days with very little sleep, they really did great.
Now watch this ... this is the parents division, when they came out I said, now that is just embarrassing and well did they make me eat my words, these not so young, not so little parents did amazing, wow !!! Remember to double click and open in youtube if you cannot see it full screen.
This is after the competition when their coaches presented them with engraved medals.
Our three girls.
Most of the Shooting Stars squad with their coaches Ms Barb and Ms Erika, Erika is Barbs daughter, she has another daughter in the squad too, Dani which is who we drove down to the beach. These coaches really have been amazing this year, Jade has learnt so much but most of all she has learnt to be a good team player, love how they taught our girls.
Last pic for this update ...
REMEMBER TO SCROLL.
