Watching the Olympics on TV

I am really impressed with how the Olympics are being covered. For those who don't know, you can watch it live (without commentating or commercials!)and you can see more gymnastics! Click here

When you get there, be sure to change the schedule time (it's in the right side of your screen) to Calgary. This will display all the Olympic events. The events will be highlighted when they are playing and you just choose what you want to watch live!!!

Please Bring...

Please be sure to send your little athletes to the gym with the following:

A HEALTHY lunch
water bottle with name
Runners
2 pairs of wrist bands
a pair of COTTON socks
a long sleeve t-shirt (if you don't want trampoline burn)
a binder with your name on it



Also, if anyone has any old backpacks kickin' around we could sure use them!

The Parade!

A huge thanks to everyone who helped with the parade preparations! A special thanks to Lewis- our driver.. aka...Dukes and to Davis Construction for donating the trailer and the truck. A special thanks to the parents/athletes who came in to set up and take down the float. We all had a blast and look forward to another success next year!

One Brave Girl!

It was one of the longest 3 hours to Calgary we have ever traveled. All four of us, Eva, Dave, Kayla and I had been anticipating our visit with Sydney to see how she was doing. And let me tell you- all 4 of us agreed that she is one of the bravest people that we know!

If your just tuning into the story- let me go back a bit..

On Thursday morning, Sydney was just finishing up beam with her dismounts (she had competed the skill this year). She was doing one more round off, back tuck and then she was moving to the next event. When she did the skill, she missed her foot and didn't have enough rotation. She landed on her head. After arriving at Medicine Hat Hospital by ambulance it was discovered that she had fractured her neck. She was then transfered to Alberta Children's Hospital and the next day was fitted with a Halo (and mighty stylish one at that!).



After pulling up to the LEGO building (it really looks like LEGO!), collecting the much needed supplies for Sydney (who doesn't need a water gun and chap stick?) and tucking the art work (created by her team mates) under our arms, we headed up to Sydney's room. I must say, she has the best room in the place- her own personal bathroom with walk in shower, a HUGE 12” TV complete with DVD, her own personal remote control with a pager (for when she wants JELL-O) and a million dollar view of the city. Sydney looked amazing! The best part of the whole visit was hearing her laugh and seeing that big smile when it was unanimously decided that her mom was indeed in need of a “What-Not-To-Wear” intervention. After Eva's inspirational story, Dave's short anatomy class and the opening of gifts and hanging of art work- we tired the poor girl out and decided to let her rest and wished her a safe drive home (hopefully early this coming week!).


Everyone's thoughts and best wishes go out to Sydney and her family for a speedy recovery and we can't wait to see you back at the gym!
