Thought Jackson and Heidi would get a laugh out of this...

So this weekend we are helping out at a girls' gymnastic competition! We wrap ankles, supply bags of ice, and examine anyone whose been hurt. For example, one girl landed wrong so we did some tests on her knee to see if she needed to go to the doctor or not (she was okay).

There are over 2,600 girls competing! They come from all over. I've worked with gymnasts from California, Louisiana, Nevada, and Canada (but didn't think to start asking where they were from until near the end).

A couple of the girls I already knew from the clinic. The physical therapists I work with knew several of the other girls and their coaches. Its a dangerous sport but these are tough girls! The physical therapist I work with, Mike, used to work with professional basketball players and he said that the girls (most of whom are around Heidi's and Jackson's ages) are a lot tougher.
