Ventura Beach on a 100 degree day!

We headed to Ventura with Wes and Gina to get away from the 100 degree heat in Santa Clarita... but to be honest it wasn't much cooler... Maybe ten degrees cooler with a constant wind. Later in the afternoon Mitzi and the kids met up with us... For more pics of us at the beach check out Mitzi's blog.

Chicago

Gym Jam went to Chicago for the Navy Pier classic a gymnastics meet!!! A huge gymnastics meet with 4500 gymnasts. Luckily I only had to coach one session and was able to do a lot of Chicago-esque things while I was there, I was also able to see a lot of people, my mom and dad drove down, and I ran into a lot of former coaches! It was great! The Hard Rock Tracy and I went to the first night in Chicago.
There were these signs EVERYWHERE in Chicago.
Watch out....

My gymnasts and me (They took second place by using the top four scores.... and we only had four scores to chose from, other teams had like fifteen, so we did very well!!!)Christy Kurtz and me at ESPN zone with my parents and her parents to watch the MSU bball game versus Northwestern... GO STATE!!! (yes they did win).
My mom, myself, and dad at ESPN zone.
Kim (my coach from club gymnastics... now a good friend) was in town the same days I was, so we hung out and chatted for a bit.

We took a limo from our hotel to the airport!!!! (The escalade we had ordered got a flat tire, and because it was so cold <-20> the driver didn't want to change the tire... so we got a stretch limo instead. Tracy and I enjoying the luxury!
Aladine and Bob think it is pretty cool too.
Bye Chicago!
