Class #5: Gymnastics

For physical activity, Jaden and Morgan are taking gymnastics 2 times a week.  They LOVE it!!!  I never imagined that they would enjoy the class as much as they do, but they can not get enough of it!!  They are part of a homeschool group, so we even get to go to gymnastics during the day when the public school kids are in school.  The class lasts 2 hours, and includes 30 minutes of free time.
Some of their accomplishments: skilled jumps on the trampoline, handstands, cartwheels, splits, rolls, and working on the bars and balance beams.     
I like the fact that the place is professional, so they can go on to be real gymnasts if they choose to.  Many of the teachers and teachers' children have gotten to the professional level or junior professional level.  If either or both of the girls decide to get serious about it, the teachers are stern and require perfection.  For now, the girls are enjoying the playing =)
