7-7-7

Hi Mom & Dad!

Report from Iowa State Tumblimg Meet: Held lands 7th place in each- double mini, trampoline & floor. She is most proud of her floor routine. In warm up, she lost her balance on her last back handspring & fell flat on her back (softly) stared up at the ceiling and started laughing. Her coach told her before her judged pass that if she didn't do it, she'd make her do 50 back hand springs on Monday. That provided sufficient motivation for a solid two passes! We are so proud of our girl who worked hard & made awesome strides this year. She is happily looking forward to a break.

It sounds like a lot of fun watching McKenzie do her tumbling. I don't think I've ever done a back handspring in my entire life—including trampoline handsprings—so this is really impressive to read about.

Give her my congrats.
