Emma Started Gymnastics!

She was 10 steps ahead of herself the whole time, but she had a blast! We were both worn out by the end of class. It's awesome and if she continues to enjoy it we will definitely continue taking her! She has 7 more classes left to this season :) I hope it helps her learn to slow down though! Maybe we should have signed her up for track!

The place was HUGE! We started off in a circle and did some warm ups. Then we did this little obstacle course with things to climb over, under, a balance beam, a slide, jumping on and off things, and doing a forward roll. Then there was another "obstacle course" where they bounced down this long trampoline, then did a "handstand" then went through a "maze". The next course was bouncing onto these big mats, then a balance beam, then in and out of these little donut things. Finally, they did the monkey bars. Across the monkey bars, then there were 2 more little bars, and then the rings. All the circuits were repeated several times. Emma must have done everything 20 times because she was just racing through it all. Even at the end when she was tired and just kept falling down because she was trying to go to fast. I hope she learns to slow down!

What a work out though!
