Gymnastics Girls

The girls decided to try gymnastics this summer. I have been sooo proud of them, especially the older ones. It is not easy to enter into something when most of your peers in the class have much more experience than you. They have worked hard and made excellent progress. Since Manah and Pawpaw are here for the weekend, I took advantage of my hands-free time and took some photos of them.

One of Allia's favorite activities is the balance beam

Gloria looooves handstands and is quite good at them for her age!

Mariana working on the bars. It is tough!

Gloria's absolute favorite activity...jumping into "the pit." She looks so tiny!

Allia has had to work really hard on the floor skills since her body is not used to backbends, cartwheels, etc. She has done great, and this coach has been very helpful and patient.
 Mariana really enjoys balance beam too...this picture was hazy, but I couldn't leave it out!
They only have a few more lessons, but I am hoping we can keep practicing what they have learned at home...maybe as part of PE!
