Isabelle Takes Bronze in Vault

Unfortunately you're going to have to wait for the professional photos and video. I was helping out backstage so only caught a few photos of Isabelle warming up before her floor routine. We're of course super proud that she participated and then went on to win a bronze medal in the Vault event. She scored an 8.2 in floor and 7.45 in vault. 54 gymnasts from 4 clubs competed.Here Isabelle and BFF Jessica (another Swede) share some warm-up moves.

Point those toes!
Urgh, looks hard.

Last minute pep-talk from coach, the wonderful Mrs Innes.

Here she goes... good luck Belle!

Waiting for their scores... gymnasts just hangin' around.

The Rainbow Fish

Here they are: fish, jellyfish, starfish and octopi. Fab costumes and set design.
Wave to your parents!

" No, we don't want to play with you Rainbow Fish."

Go Octopi Go! Show 'em what you got.

Bonus: the Reception kids treat us to an encore!!

Shiver Me Timbers, It's a Pirate!

Mid-life Crisis

Some would say two quadbikes, two kayaks, an 18 foot Bayliner with all the accessories and umpteen bikes would be enough.

Brendan says, "Look at the bright side Sweetheart, another mid-life crisis purchase means I'm going to live longer." Hmpf. So, here is the latest acquisition. KTM 530.

And what the hell is it doing in my hallway??
