Gymnastics (and a beautiful day!)

Dear Kate,

Guess what you are now?  A gymnast!!! That's right.  You are now in the Mommy and Me gym class at Let It Shine and you LOVE it!  I'm not too surprised since you have already started taking after your sister with the climbing and love of jumping and flipping over, etc.  We start off in this one area of the gym where we rotate between 7-8 different ''exercises" which teach you all the basics of a gymnast, including hand stands and cart wheels, and your fave, the bars!  

After a few minutes, your coach does "Bubble Time" where there are millions and millions of bubbles everywhere.  You really loved this and Mommy is not real sure why I haven't broken the bubbles out this whole summer??!  But, now I know and it will make a great fall activity :)  Anyway, you loved the bubbles, no doubt... 

After bubble time, we stretch and do straddles and touch our toes (or some of us do, those of us who are 34 years younger than their mommy, but anyway), and then we head out to the big girl gym.  This part changes every week and this week it was on the green floor where you played with the ball and went up and down a slide and all kinds of other fun things...

After we did the floor, we headed over to the trampolines and the famous pit that your sister loves to jump in.  You liked the trampoline okay when you were by yourself, but you really liked it if Mommy was holding you and jumping really high!  You didn't care too much for the pit, but I bet with time you will love some pit.  Overall, I think you are going to love gymnastics.  Mommy had so much fun playing with just you and can't wait until next Thursday!  

After gymnastics (and a REALLY long nap from you!), we picked Sister up from school and what a beautiful day it was.  We decided we needed to enjoy every bit of it outside, so that we did!   

I'm pretty sure you guys are twins, or at least come from the same monkey gene!   

 We wrapped the outside adventure up with a bike ride and a little trampoline time at our house.   A beautiful day with my beautiful girls!!!  Love you gymnast!
