Kylie's bridge - she really improved on this one from the first time she tried.



Balancing Act - Star, besk, table top, slope

We put the kids in a eight week community tumbling class together. They went every Tuesday night for 45 minutes. And love every minute of it. They haven't done a sport or activity like this before and were thrilled about it. They would love to come home and practice and show off the moves they learned.

The Monday before the last performance, where the parents were invited to see all the moves they learn I had the kids practice what they had learned. When they got to the cartwheel Marcus was so mad because they were even worse after the class. So he spent about 15 minutes reteaching them how to do cartwheels. For some reason it really cracked me up. Marcus wondered why he paid someone to teach them cartwheels and they got even worse. But that aside they learned lots of tumbling moves, and I am interested in putting them in the next class come January.

The class was for 5-8 year old but she let me stick Kylie in because she was able to keep up with the bigger kids, and she will be 5 at the end of the year. But in the pictures she does seem a lot littler then the other kids. We had a great time this Tuesday watching the kids, I hope you enjoy the pictures and the videos (even if they are a little dark).
