Cousin Paige's National Gymnastics Meet

Adi was thrilled to learn that after a blissful morning of blueberry picking (and in her case mass consumption of berries of all kinds) that our afternoon would be spent at cousin Paige's gymnastics meet at Vet's Auditorium in Des Moines.Here's Paige (on the right) getting ready to warm up on uneven bars:
Adi is enjoying the meet in her Mariposa fairy costume which she also sported for the berry pickins (I don't know what Cam's doing, looks like something is stuck in his teeth ;)
Grandma Marsha was pleasantly surprised to see us there. She knew we were coming to see Mike (Cam's step-dad) who had just received triple bi-pass surgery the morning before but had no idea we would be at the meet.
Mike is doing great and healing like a champ. It was hard for Adi to understand but I did my best to explain simply that Grandpa Mike was sick but the doctors fixed him up and now he just needs to heal, just like when we get sick it takes some time for our bodies to get better. Later on after we left (when she wasn't feeling quite so shy) she prayed for Jesus to heal Grandpa Mike and to bless him.
