Hayley's Summer Challenge

Hayley had her very first gymnastics competition this weekend, at Elite Gymnastics Academy. It was a big deal, with a hundred or so kids competing at different levels. (Hayley is a "FutureStar.") She did great, got a medal and a t-shirt, and had lots of fun. Everybody really enjoyed it.
