Gymnastics State competition in San Diego was first. We went Friday evening to be there for Alayah's competition and then Saturday morning to support the Level 6 and 7's before Cienna and Kaylee. That night we stayed together at an amazing hotel in the Gaslamp district just down the street from the Convention Center in which the competition was being held. We had a great dinner together on the patio, people watching. Had a great morning breakfast at the hotel, Kaylee and Cienna fortunately got to go at the same time. Dad drove down to join us to watch the girls compete and participated in the senior ceremony celebrating all the years of hard work and dedication. Cienna got her first set of diamond earrings of the month which is a Southern California tradition for USAG. They both did amazing as always and qualified for Regionals in Vegas.
Mom had her 49th Bday doing what she loves most, spending time with her family. We had some fun plumbing the backyard for some new cement for our hot tub on its way.
Girls had some beach days, a carnival at school which they had a big part of being in ASB, and the four of us got to go to the Savanah Bananas! We had a complete blast! Got some shirts ahead of time and really enjoyed the show and being together.
Kaylee went with Mom and Dad to Tyler and Becky's Baby Shower which even had real life looking dinosaurs :) The Girl's first day of Spring Break was Good Friday, they got up at 5am to sing for the YMCA breakfast with their school choir. Mom was lucky to be able to attend being a YMCA employee. Their choir was the most amazing entertainment for such a great gathering. They even got standing ovations!
That Saturday was spent preparing plumbing and finishing electrical in the backyard for cement to be poured prior to the hot tub arrival. We also got a chance to dye some eggs and prepare for Easter morning.
Girls still had fun hunting for eggs in the morning, then we first went to the Ferrario's. We enjoyed hanging out with everyone and saw some brand new puppies, and bunnies, as well as more Easter festivities with the little Ferrario's as well. We then came back to the Snow's for some delicious food and well spent time together.
The girls planned some fun adventures with each other and friends all week including a trip to the beach with Roaklee, paddle boarding in the bay, and taking pictures at Sunken City. We all also went to our first Acro & Tumbling competition at Asuza after Cienna took Evan on a Scavenger hunt asking Evan to Prom.
We all looked forward to more family time in Vegas for the girls Regional competition. We rented a car for the road trip to Vegas. Left the car after stopping at the world famous thermometer (was super exciting), then headed to the Rio for a delicious brunch. The event was being held at the Rio. We had a great view and settled in the room before heading to the pool. There may have been some inappropriate storm troopers walking around the pool (Empire Strips Back) as well. Mild compared to what we saw later in the evening.
We booked Ziplining along the downtown strip from the top of the largest slot machine (SlotZilla). All four of us got to go together checking out all the crazy that was below. Was a pretty cool experience, especially to do together. Then walking back down the downtown area was a whole other experience with all the street performers and the downtown Vegas experience. We even had dinner (which had great food btw) that had a claw machine that for $2 you could grab a live lobster to eat if you won.
Kaylee was first to compete on Sunday. She had some great moments, ending with Regional medals on floor, beam, and all around. Cienna was next. Had another senior ceremony which she got more diamond earrings, also did great and made it to Western's her senior year in Idaho for her age division coming up next week.
Mom then headed to Regionals for the level 6 and 7's in Santa Rosa! After flying in to SR she met up at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds to coach a few sessions before visiting SRGC and surprising Darcie, then visited Poppa and Heather in Kenwood. Grammy and Greg joined the last competition session of the evening and then we all enjoyed the rest of the evening together. There was more sessions on Saturday and we spent more time together going to Home Depot, having dinner, and enjoying the company.
Meanwhile, Dad and the girls were doing multiple jobs around the house, continuing to upgrade the backyard and garage, and getting ready for the upcoming festivities. Kaylee and Nicki went paddle boarding while Cienna got the opportunity to go to a suite at the Grand Prix downtown with free food and all the luxuries that are accommodated special guests :)
I know we've said it before, but we think about it everyday that we're so lucky for all that we have, the people that surround and support us, and each other!
