It is a beautiful day, though very cold.
The Japanese magnolias in Athens are in full bloom.

Inside the Coliseum, Ella enjoys myriad activities, starting with a balloon artist that makes her a ladybug bracelet.

Next, she gets a pink heart on her cheek,

then pink hairspray.
(It is the annual "pink-out" meet in honor of a UGA gymnast who was diagnosed with breast cancer while still a student athlete.)

It looks red here, but it is really pink.

Els makes a poster to cheer on the GymDogs.

Practicing the balance beam with Julieta.

All alone on the moonwalk, like Ella prefers.

After a while, Ella is OK with the other kids.
(She did not like them for a long time.)
