I know...we all have something to smile about...every day.
But some days it's just easier to smile than others.
And today...I have a granddaughter that will be carrying a very big smile.
She spent the weekend in Nelson, B.C....
over a few mountain ranges and eight hours from home.
Her team was participating in the provincial jump rope finals.
She was somewhat nervous last week...
to the point of being sick.
She had nothing to worry about!
Emme was one of six girls in her age group that made the provincial team...
and the only one from her skipping club.
She will now be skipping at the national competition in Alberta this summer.
She has reason to smile...
and we are so proud of her!

Guess who stopped by this morning?

Still smiling...
and carrying an armful of ribbons and medals for me to check out!
Wow! That's quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks very happy as well she should be. Skipping rope is such a great workout and she's a natural. Congrats to Emme! Keep skipping...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Emme! That's quite an accomplishment - just deciding to compete is something, and winning is the icing on the cake. Where does she go from here?

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Emme! Love her happy face:)
ReplyDeleteOoops sorry - there was one other girl from her team, Raegen, who got on Team BC too for the 8/9 age category! Emme was competing with 10/11 age category. So we are very happy for Raegen too! Just thought I'd make sure we got the right facts! Thanks for the congrats...I have a very happy girl! Broni (proud mom of Emme)
ReplyDeleteI heard background talk about Nelson this weekend, and was trying to remember, what is in Nelson (besides my brother's family). I had been told earlier that the skipping was there. What a great experience for Emme! You can be a proud Grammy. Dairymary
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Emme! That smile says it all! She will have something to keep her busy and focused now too! All the best!
ReplyDeleteShe looks as pleased as punch! I remember you posting about her skipping before...such a great sport for young girls & boys (and not so young) to take up!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Emme! What a fun sport to be a contestant in. I'd have loved that when I was a child as skipping and double dutch were my favourite playground activity.
ReplyDeleteContrats! One day your grands will sit and enjoy all the documenting you have done. I used to love to skip.
