Gymnastics Advent Meet – Bjarki
Bjarki spent the night at his grandparents’ house, and they shuttled him to this year’s gymnastics advent meet. (Here is the blog entry from last year’s advent meet.)
Us girls met Bjarki there, and watched him being put through the ropes, so to speak. He did pretty well, considering he’s nothing but hands and legs! 🙂 (14 images total, 1 video link)
The start of the meet. There were fewer groups this year – four girl groups and two boy groups. I saw on Facebook that they were expecting 650 kids over the weekend, meaning they must have split the groups down into lots of slots. The hall was certainly more peaceful than last year!
Walking to their first exercise spot.
Anna and Emma.
Hrefna and Emma. It should be noted that all of these photos were taken on our tiny Canon PowerShot camera.
One of the kids on the bleachers had a large tablet to play with, and it didn’t take long for other kids to swarm around him!
Lots of parents present! This is only one half of the available bleacher-space.
Anna and Emma hanging out on some equipment in the far corner.
Yay, after an hour and a half the meet was over!
Bjarki and the boys with his MEDAL (most important!) and certificate/score sheet (not so important).
These were all the medals still to be given out after everybody there had already gotten theirs!
The kids got rounded up for a big group picture!
Parents taking lots of pictures. That guy on the left is one of Bjarki’s coaches, and he appears to be the most patient man in existence! I don’t understand how he manages to never lose his cool when the boys are being ‘boys’.
Siblings!
Bjarki’s score card. He’s decidedly average!!
I leave you with a playlist of videos from the day:
