Just cleaning off the desk and came across the photos from gymnastics taken toward the end of last school year. Each year they close out the gymnastics year with a "mini-Olympics" performance, and the outfits they have on are the uniforms for the performance. It's a little different evey year, and this year they tied into the Summer Olympic theme. It is really a fun event to watch. They all get a trophy and their 15 seconds of fame!
All three have all moved up to the next level this year. In fact, the girls' coach is really trying to "encourage" the girls to move to yet the next level which is the first level of girls team gymnastics. The classes bump up to two hour sessions (versus and hour and fifteen mins) and there are two competitions per year. They are luke warm to the idea, mostly because it interferes with coming home and watching Hannah Montana and riding scooters. With a little more encouragement they may make the leap!! As for Nick....some pretty remarkable physical skill and strength for a guy his age, but not quite matched by his ability to focus on the task at hand. Perhaps another year and he will be ready to transition to the Junior Trainers team (boys competitive team). Most of all, it is such a great form of exercise and activity for them. And best of all, the gym comes to the school two days a week to pick them up and take them back to the center for their classes. Pretty slick deal!!
