Get-A-Grip Invitational Gymnastics Meet!

My 7 year old son Sawyer had his very first gymnastics meet this past weekend in Birmingham, AL! He was so excited! He's been on the gymnastics team for a year and has worked so hard for this day! The boys team at our gym is a brand new team. I'm so glad he is a part of it! His coach is amazing and you can tell he loves what he is doing!

Since this was their very first meet they learned a ton! Even the coach learned a lot and I know he will be prepping the boys with the new knowledge for their next meet in January.

Here he is about to walk into his very first meet! Can you tell he is excited??!!

Here Sawyer is with Coach Justin!

And yes...he had to endure the pictures that a Mom must have! ;-)

Be prepared for lots of pictures...and video!
