Gymnastics Class

Emma is taking gymnastics class after school for an hour on Mondays and Wednesdays. She is really liking it and learning a lot of things! At first she was really timid and unsure of herself, but she's getting better each week. I even saw her practicing cartwheels in the den last night.

They warm up at first going around the gym walking, hopping, skipping, running

Then do some wall push-ups

Then some heel stretches

Poor Jack gets really bored

But he's a good sport about it

And likes to goof off with Dad

Arabesque?

It's a good time for the parents to get together and study on the bleachers. I guess I refused to study this day...but see everyone else? They're such good students.

Trampoline Jumps

Back walk-overs

With bad lighting it was tough getting good action shots, but you get the idea. They actually do new things each week and she likes changing it up some. I'm glad she has an exercise outlet that's also fun for us to watch. Sojourn Academy also offers soccer on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we thought we would just stick to one thing for now. It's plenty for us to handle.
