AAU Nationals, Cocoa Beach Part 1

Day 1 (Sunday)
Today's agenda was registration in the morning and opening ceremonies in the evening. It quickly became clear that Chris had no need for me, so while he was biding time, we got some lunch and hit the beach. We caught up with Chris again at the opening ceremony. If there was a picture I wish I could have captured, it was this scene: 100 teams of 12 kids all on the floor of the gym--looked like we were going to do graduation. Each kid had a glow stick, that could be bent into a circle. This made the rings easy to fling. (Corinne was able to add a few pictures of this for me!) Part of the opening ceremony had a lady walking up the long aisle belting "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Boy did she get it: glow rings were flung from all distances, and the best shots hit her! She hustled up to the front stage to finish, but the glow rings continued being flung.

That I don't have. I do have Lunch at Tropics City Bistro, and Sun on The Beach, and a few shots at the Opening Ceremony. My battery went, and I forgot to grab my spares when I got changed from the beach. Oh well.
