We decided to leave for Rock Island on Saturday. We have friends their that use to live down the street from us. John use to work at Coca Cola with Rich. John transferred back the Quad Cities were he was from, 2 years ago. They became good friends of our family while they lived here. The Meet was just a half a block from John and Jessie’s. Tina decided that her and Miley and Austin would stay with John and Jessie, and we parked the Motorhome at the high school where the meet was to take place the next day. Cameron came with us also. You’ll never believe what happened. It snowed 2″…..HOW HORRIBLE….Its suppose to wait till we leave. We decided to go out to eat. Rock Island is built on a hill. Fortunately they live on the high side. We headed down the street, and the cars coming up were at a stand still. Well they tried,….lol…….They kept slipping sideways….slipping right into the curbs…….lol….Out came the wreckers…..the fire trucks…..What a mess. We ate at a Mexican Rest. and then came home. Fortunately by the time we went back up the hill, the salt trucks were out. Easy trip back home. The next morning , breakfast at Johns and on to the meet at the high school…..
Miley competed in 3 categories. Floor tumbling, Trampoline, and Double Mini Trampoline. Her first was Tumbling at 9:30. Next was Trampoline at 11:30 and finally Double Mini at 2:30. By the time they got to the last one, they were running late. It was a long long day. But she did fabulous. She did wonderful especially on the Double Mini. The top 3 girls were only a difference of 7/10 in score…So by the time the day was over, Miley won a 2nd, 3rd. and a 5th
….CONGRATULATIONS MILEY…..GREAT JOB……
Finally It was time to go home……………Stopped at McDonalds…..Miley wanted a chocolate shake….Every Champion deserves a treat…..Right…..So Homeward bound finally…..Another late nite……School for the kids the next day….but now US?……Retirement is great…Just sleep in another morning…..lol…. 6 DAYS AND COUNTING LOL LOL LOL GOTTA ESCAPE THIS SNOW AND COOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD
