The buzz at the gym.

If there are any gym mom's out there, you'll know just what I'm talking about. The gym is it's own little world.

Really.

It's like a soap opera, a tiny town, and a time capsule all rolled into one.

There's drama (from the girls, the coaches, and the parents) Everyone knows EVERYTHING from who's gone on vacation, who's had a private lesson, who's going to what school, to who fell on beam at a critical meet. It's crazy. You can be gone for a week, and when you come back...Nothings changed!! HOW?!

But we still do it....so maybe we're the crazy ones.lol

But we have BUZZ at our gym. Why?

Joseph Hagerty is our guy. He's local, he's sweet, he's the brother of the girls coaches from preschool, and the current preschool director and we "grew up with him" (well sorta)

Now, we're all watching the TV on weekends rooting for him, and his family (his dad in a halo even from a car accident!!) is flying out to watch him compete in PA.

Our gym is no stranger to Olympians... and it's fun to see them after the hooplah. Lance Ringnald, John Roesthlisberger, Chainey Umphrey, Chris Waller, Trent Dimas, to name a few. (Click on the gym link to see more, if you're so inclined)

Now, the fun part is watching our lil' girls. Now that gym-girl is an Optional, she will participate in the gym show (HAIRSPRAY) with the summer camp kids. I have discovered that my poor little girl has no dance genes in her AT ALL. I'm talking grace went out the window. Flew the coop. And never came back.

She can nail a complicated floor routine, but ask her to dance, and it's not pretty. Maybe this summer will help tune her into her inner ballerina...

In the meantime, we'll try to keep from giggling up in the stands.
