The Tipp City Arts Festival

M's gym was invited to do an exhibition at the annual Tipp City Ohio's Arts Festival.  Many of the gymnastics were at summer camp or were on vacation, but we were able to go and represent!

The festival is set up in the streets of historic Tipp City.  So after rolling out the mats and putting together the music, the group starting warming up...

and stretching out.

The competitive cheer squad joined the gymnasts for the exhibit.  Cheerleaders are in black.  Gymnasts in white. 

Now it was time for tumbling!

M has got her roundoff back handspring (times two) and is now working on her back tuck.  Translation:  She can flip up in the air lots of times -- sometimes without using her hands!

We are really proud of her!  I personally can't wait until competition season starts in November.  I think she is going to do very well!  Go Gem City!
