As a mom who’s always somewhere in the skies, balancing work and family life can be challenging. But when my sons, Karl and Karlvin, qualified for the Illinois Elite Gymnastics team, I knew I had to take them to the Summer 2024 Olympics.
Our main destination was the Men’s Gymnastics event. As we entered the Olympic Arena, the electric atmosphere enveloped us. The world’s best gymnasts had gathered, and Karl and Karlvin were about to witness greatness.
Level 5 gymnasts themselves, they watched their idols perform live, a defining moment in their journey. Japan’s Shinnosuke Oka delivered a flawless execution, leaving the crowd gasping.
“That’s a triple-twisting double layout!” Karl exclaimed.
“And look at his landing!” Karlvin added.
The USA team, featuring Fred Richard, Paul Juda, Asher Hong, Brody Malone, and Stephen Nedoroscik, stunned the crowd with their routines.
As the event concluded, Karl and Karlvin beamed with excitement. “That was amazing!” Karl exclaimed. “I want to work harder than ever!” Karlvin added
The Summer 2024 Olympics ignited a fire within them.
Unleashing Confidence: Raising Resilient Kids Through Travel

2. Communicate: Keep your children informed about your travel plans.
3. Support system: Build a network of family and friends to help with childcare.
4. Flexibility: Be prepared for changes in travel plans.
5. Quality time: Make the most of time spent with your child.
