Olympic Trials

We were lucky enough to be able to go to the Olympic Trials in San Jose in July!  It was much more fun this go around since Ainsley was a big fan (4 years ago she and Reggie were ready to go long before the night was over).  We tried to take advantage of all the activities and meet gymnasts and we were very tired at the end of the 3 days, but, it was worth it!!!  The 2nd night was a concert and tribute to all the US Olympic gymnasts going back to the 1950's.  They invited all of them and several showed up and it was a blast from the past to hear some of the names, people that I thought were great when I was little, Phoebe Mills, Kristi Phillips and of course Shannon Miller.  Ainsley scored a ticket to go on the floor during the event and she had a blast with her buddies.  We also ran into some of her old teammates and her past coach that was a favorite, who since moved to Florida. She also saw her least favorite coach from the past!  Crazy in a packed stadium to find so many people we knew.  We even ran into a classmate from her school!

Svetlana Boginskaya (gymnast from the 90's)

Ainsley spent the week going to gymnastics practice at her gym and we had her birthday party on her day off.  She was very sore, but happy to see her friends.  The boys had all kinds of fun with Aunt Liha, Grandma and Grandma Peggy!

The boys had all kinds of fun with Aunt Liha, Grandma and Grandma Peggy and Uncle Dustin (they took the boys to Wild Waves!).  The boys enjoying the lake:

 Ainsley also had a pool party with her teammates at a place in Pleasanton that I didn't even know existed.  When I hit the lotto, that is where I would want to live....It was so beautiful!
