Gymnastics

MaKena was in the Tumble Tots gymnastics class this winter at American Gold Gymnastics. Last year we did the Parent Tot class which was fun but a little chaotic; this year was much more relaxing for me! She was in a class with about 10 other little kids her age and 4 coaches. One of the little boys in her class was CJ who is Carrie’s son (a friend and co-worker). MaKena and CJ were in the Parent Tot class together last year too. Carrie and I had some good conversations while the kids were in class. It was our quiet time! The kids were in a little room while the parents got to watch them a TV. It was pretty comical watching the kids try and do the different stations every week. The last night of class was parent’s night. MaKena was so excited to perform for us. We got to sit in the class and watch the kids instead of having to watch them on the TV. She was so proud of herself.

Stretching and getting ready for the rest of class.

Tah Dah! She just finished a sommersault.

Swinging like a monkey on the bars!

We have several videos of her last night of gymnastics that I need to downsize so I can upload them to blogger. Hopefully I can get them added soon as they are hilarious!
