The Money Pit

We got a list of fees tonight for the begining of competitive season for gymnastics. With about a dozen meets, monthly fees, leotard, warmup, etc... we're looking at incredible amounts of money. We're even at a gym that's considered reasonable. My kid is still SEVEN, right??? Holy cow. Remember the soccer days? 40 dollars for the entire SEASON??? Tell me it will be worth it. The kid is in love with her sport and doesn't ever complain.
Want to see a cool video? This is from March. She's so much better now. Mom bragging over.... for this post.

eeks, kids activities are such fun, aren't they. holy crappers, that's a lot of costs. i've got my fingers crossed that my kids will be underachievers. (Just kidding, of course.)

How fun that you and Holly have a little connection -- Holly was in our ward here in Austin and I still want them to move back. As for the gymnastics -- she sure is talented and I know you'll pour the $$ into it because she needs it. She's awesome!
