Since the country is in a Olympic tizzy, Ryan and I decided to plan Cadence's life out for her by choosing a sport to go the 2028 Olympics. Here are the contenders:
1) Gymnastics - was a no because we don't want her to be 4'11 and have a squeaky voice for her whole life
2) Ping Pong - I am sorry, the serious people call it table tennis. We decided this was a little dorky :).
3) Running - this had a serious chance until we realized one of us who probably have to train with her until she was good enough to get a pro coach. Ryan said he had bad knees (cop out!) and I just don't like to run so track got voted out.
4) Swimming - this was alright but she really won't be tall enough (even the girls are 6'0 and above!) plus if Cadence became a swimmer we would have to use words like "swum" in everyday conversation and that is just a strange word.
What about trampolining (is that word?), cycling, sailing, AHHHHHHHHHH so many to choose from.
As you can tell we can't really decide so we are open for suggestions (listed below are all the choices) - archery is a serious contender (if Grandpa Patrilla can help coach) and I always liked watching Rhythmic Gymnastics (her name does mean rhythm...)! :)

Seriously? All of those were Olympic events? I am voting for sabre aka fencing.
Also - I couldn't think of what sports are even in the Winter Olympics. Here's what I remember: speed skating, figure skating, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, ski "jumping," why can't I think of anything else? Snowboarding hasn't made it, right? Ice fishing? Snowman building? Why can't I think of other events?
Oh, one more. You left out soccer. That, too me, is the best chance. Her dad is a good soccer player, her aunt is a SUPERB soccer player, it's in the genes, that is, if archery doesn't work out. Plus, you can be short.
Yes they are all Olympic events, which makes me wonder why we only get to see like 3 different types of events. I think soccer has a legit chance for her -- she loves to kick things.
I think she should look into wrestling. Because there is talent in the family You know!
