What We've Been Doing This Summer

"How's your summer been?"

It's a commonly asked question. I often reply that ours has been good if you don't mind living at the gym. Between my coaching and Alyssa's training, we spend nearly half of every day in our second home.

Here's Alyssa getting some one-on-one attention from her amazing Chinese coach, Tia:

This is a flyaway, her level 6 dismount. Only 5 weeks until the first meet.

It's really not the only thing we've done this summer. We've found time for other fun stuff, too. But Alyssa truly loves to be in the gym, even if it does mean that's how the majority of her summer is spent.
