Jump Start Gymnastics

Today was camera day at Gymnastics......Oh, I guess I should back-up for those of you who we haven't talked to in a while. While I was watching the Olympics this summer, I happened to catch a commercial for a gymnastics center in Peoria and found out that they offer classes for young kids (part of what they call their 'diaper gym' program). I was reminded of how much fun I used to have in gymnastics as a kid and decided that with all of Sam's energy and climbing skills, we should try out a class or two. Well, it has been a month now since we started and Sam LOVES gymnastics. He gets to do everything mom & dad won't let him do at home, like climb over pretty much everything he sees, jump on 'beds', swinging from bars & other wild and crazy things. So, today the adults got to bring cameras into the gym area and capture some of the exciting things happening. Below are few of my favorites:


This first picture is Sam getting ready to jump....he decided he didn't want anything to do with crawling and rolling down the hill, but had more fun standing at the top and jumping down to the bouncy floor:

















Next, we were off to another part of our obstacle course, which required a bit of climbing and crawling:















Then, we were off to the trampolines. Today was a special day at the trampolines, we go to pretend we were cowboys:



















Finally, when it is time to say goodbye, Miss Dawn leads us in our 'goodbye song'. Sam has learned to play the 'drums' with Miss Dawn, but as you can see in the picture, we need to work on facing our friends when we say goodbye :) hehe
