Our Gymnasts

The girls started gymnastics a couple of weeks ago.  Ava took gymnastics over the summer and Carli would ask every time if she would get to go too!  We worked out the schedules and we get to to spend two hours every Thursday at the gym watching the girls do flips, swing on bars and walk the balance beam.  They are enjoying it a lot!

Aren't they so cute?!

The first week, I remembered by camera but had forgotten to charge it so I didn't get a good picture.  The second week I remembered and took lots of pictures but only two turned out decent.  You will have to take my word for their amazing gymnast abilities!  :)

Ava amazes me because of the two girls, I would think that she would be the one that would be bouncing off the walls everywhere too busy having fun to pay attention to the teachers.  But apparently she has some of me in her because when it comes to school and gymnastics she is very attentive and aims to please her teachers.  She will be sitting down right where she has been told to sit watching all the chaos around her!  It is pretty awesome...makes this Momma proud.  :)

 

Carli's first class she did really well.  She was so anxious to do each activity that she would jump up and down trying to volunteer to go first!  This meant that she went last.  So the second week she did a lot better at containing her enthusiasm and even got to go first a couple of times!
