with petty?

Some of these girls are so flexible they can touch their butt to their back. Makes me hurt just watching them!

She trains 3 hours on Tuesdays and Sundays year round and then extra practices toward competition. She is in awesome shape!
I wish I was in that good of shape ever in my life.
She didnt need tumbling lessons because our neighbor just happens to be a gymnast and our kids played together and they learned hand springs etc.
Yes she does that exact stuff. They are at Summit in Orlando competing this weekend. Worlds and Summit are like the Super bowls of cheer.
cheers!
