GYMNASTICS

Its never too early to start training for the Olympics!!!

The chunk monk had her first gymnastics class on Tuesday night. She LOVED it! She squealed, and clapped, and chased after the other little girls for a solid 30 minutes! We did a few front rolls, a few log rolls, a handstand, and she swung on the swing into the foam pit. She did a flip on the bar and we bounced on the trampoline. At the beginning of class we all sang "If you're happy and you know it" and the monk played the tamborine. And then we got free time to explore the gym. After that we learned a few skills...rolls, handstands, holding on to the swing, etc...and then we tried those out! At the end of class we all chased bubbles around the room! I tried my best to get pictures but she was so excited and I just couldnt get her to be still long enough for a good picture.

Pictures of the gym!

Waiting for class to start!

Exploring on the big mats.

I'm quite sure this is a Russian gymnastics pose!

On the balance beam!

FOAM PIT!!!

I tried to get a picture of her standing at the bar but she just wouldn't stay there!

Classes are at the Matrix if you want to come watch.

They have a seating area where you can see it all!
