A Blue Ribbon & the Amazon

The girls performed their Home Routine last night and this afternoon before lunch, they received their critique sheets and a ribbon - a BLUE RIBBON, which means SUPERIOR!  They did a great job and were really excited with the results.

This afternoon after turn technique class, the girls played a few team building games.  One of them was where the entire team had a pair of imaginary shoes - but only one pair.  Each girl could only wear these special shoes ONE time.  The shoes could not be thrown across the Amazon - they had to be worn by a girl on our team to get back to the rest of the team.  The girls had to figure out how to get this done - and man was it funny.  Evidently, this video is too long for me to upload to Blogger and imbed in my post - but you can watch it here. 

I am always so proud when I sit back and watch them work together, whether it be something big like winning State, or something small like crossing the Amazon - their teamwork amazes me :)
