We usually stay in Henderson at the Townplace Suites (no smoke) and rent a car from Fox Rent a Car (cheap rates). We like having a car so we can come and go as we please.
Darn...wish I had seen your post before the Olympic Trials. My DD and I were in section 121 row 13 seats 9 & 10. Would have been neat to meet someone from the Chalk Bucket all the way from Canada.
It was such an amazing experience to see the men and women compete live and to be there for the...
Oh my goodness!!! I haven't been on CB in quite a while and thought I'd check out some of the old threads that I have posted on.
I'm THRILLED to see that you liked my idea for the name of your new gym.
I will tell my family in Clarion and Fairfield about your business.
Congratulations...
Dana McDonald signed a letter of intent to attend UCLA. We are thrilled that she is currently training at the same gym as my DD. She is a huge inspiration to the younger gymnasts.:)
My DD is a Level 7 training Level 8/9. She practices 25 hours a week during the school year and up to 30 hours in the summer. Seven hours each week are spent in conditioning and the TOPs program.
Gibson Athletic Just Right Grips
My gymmie has been using this brand of grips since she started training Level 7. She puts about 6+ hours a week on them and they have lasted for a very long time. They also come in a double buckle version. Good luck in your search for the perfect grips...
DD has a muscle butt too. I call it the "Juicy Booty". Daddy calls her "Rock Bottom". And Grandpa says that if you bounced a quarter on her abs or her butt it just might go into orbit.
She is VERY proud of her hard workin' bum.:D
At the age of 5 1/2 DD attended a clinic at Stanford. As we walked through the door into the gym she announced, "I am SO going to Stanford!" Four years later she is a training L7 and still working hard towards the goal she set for herself.
I roller skated competitively for 4 1/2 years doing figures and the patterned compulsory dances like the ice dancers do before they get to do their original/free dances. I practiced with my partner Monday through Saturday for 3+ hours on the weekdays and 4 hours on Saturdays . Free time on...
DD's coach sprays "Scrubbing Bubbles" cleaner on the mats and the girls wipe them down with damp towels after every practice.
I like the Simple Green and Lysol ideas. I think I will share them with the coach.
DD just started training L7. Her summer schedule is 19 hours of gymastics, 1 hour of ballet, and 4 hours of TOPs each week. Tuition is $435.00 per month.
When school starts up again, I'm guessing that she will go back down to 20 hours including TOPs, and ballet (same as her L6 hours) at...
