Ana - Gymnastics Nationals

 Ana did a fantastic job at the Nationals gymnastics meet. She got a medal in beam which she was very proud of. 

Renard’s Cheese

 We knew that we would be visiting Door County while we were in Green Bay. Last time we were here was seven years ago in 2018. Cameron really wanted to recreate a picture from our last visit to a cheese shop called Renard’s Cheese.

Finally, squeaky cheese curds! 

Opening Ceremony

 This year Green Bay, WI is hosting Nationals. The venue is pretty incredible as it is next to Lambeau Field. The guest speaker for Opening Ceremony was Jordan Chiles. It was fun seeing all of Ana’s teammates and their coaches be part of this event. All the girls had a tattoo of Coach Karen’s face (it was hilarious). Nationals is the culmination of this year’s hard work at the gym. 

Had to stop by The Cheese Castle as soon as we drove into Wisconsin:

Jordan Chiles had pretty TALL high heels!

YMCA Nationals Gymnastics Competition - First Stop: Auntie Carol’s

 On our way to Green Bay, WI for the 2025 Nationals Gymnastics Competition, we stopped by “auntie” Carol’s house south of Chicago. Carol introduced us to Italian beef and WOW! It was delicious!  Carol showed us around her new hometown and of course the tour has to end at The Creamery for some ice cream. 

End of School Tradition

We officially ended another homeschool year and it has been a tradition that we go to Graeter’s for some ice cream. This year the girls opted to get pints and a regular ice cream cone.  It didn’t matter that we woke up to 37 degree weather, the girls wanted their ice cream. 

Pan Dulce - San Antonio

 Cameron found a new Mexican bakery in San Antonio and I’m glad he did. The bread tastes so much like the one I grew up eating back in Juarez. I’m so glad he decided to bring some home and it survived the plane ride. 

Sixth Dance Recital

 This year both girls were in the same class. They both did ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical and pointe.
