    WAG Florida meet suggestions

    Gasparilla is a really great meet! It's huge and teams come from all over. It's held at a Major League Baseball stadium. Good location to head to the beach, too.

    Parents New trick!

    My DD just got her kip yesterday...and, today, not one on her own. I've watched every girl get it and then lose it for a week or two. Then it slowly comes back and takes a while to get solid, then they can do it on the high bar. How frustrating.

    Parents Sand dollar invite

    Also be prepared for the entry fee. That surprised me last year. I should have known...it is Disney! $27 for a one day pass and $47 for the weekend pass. Kids are $12. The food is also expensive so we eat before or after.
