Got Chalk?

This just in from my bro', Chris: "I went with Ciera to gymnastics tonite (her Aunt Carrie usually takes her). Here is a crappy cell-phone picture. Ciera is in all-white with a small green skirt over white-leggings. It's a nice place ---- they've got all the gear. Big floor routine area with the springy floor. Beams, uneven bars, etc etc. They even have a big foam pit so they can practice their balance beam dismounts. The smell of chalk and all those leotards and funky funky floor routine music ------ I got MAJOR flashbacks from going to Toni's gymastics shows back in the 70s.

I bought Ciera a red leotard and shorts ("Got Chalk") and took some pictures when we got home. Ciera is amazingly coordinated. She is tall which puts her at a disadvantage ---- but I could not believe how athletic she is ---- on hard stuff like the uneven bars and balance beam."
