Show Week at The Little Gym

Today was Logan's semester-end show at The Little Gym. He has been practicing very hard at home on his gymnastics. And by this I mean jumping on every piece of furniture that has the slightest amount of spring to it, and cartwheeling down every hallway. Sometimes in public even. Like in the middle of Wal-Mart or while waiting in line at the grocery store. It's awesome.

So here it is, a play-by-play of the big event:

Warm up
.
.
Look at those feet go! I'm gonna get you!
.
.
.
The floor exercise consisted of a forward roll, which
I have to say that Logan does exceptionally well...
.
.
.
a cartwheel....
(okay, so this one could use a little work)
.
.
.
and ended with a hand stand.
.
.
.
.
Ooops. All that flipping around was too tempting for Claire.
Here she is trying to get in on the act. Ugh, little sisters!
She and Skip spent the rest of the show watching through
the windows!
.
.
Casting on the bar
.
.
.
Practicing a hand stand during play time.
.
.
.
Next was the balance beam routine, which started off with
a "vee." Now, I'm not one to brag, but Logan
had the best "vee" in the class. No kiddin'.
.
.
...followed by some scoop kicks
.
.
...and ending with some high kicks.
He's practically a Rockette! (He gets that
from his Grammy)
.
.
.
At the end of the show, the kids all got medals.
Logan was the first one to be called. He was so
excited to get a medal! He said, "WOW, I never
got a medal before!!" Everyone laughed. He
was too cute.
.
.
.
Here's the class snapshot. Check Logan out giving me
the thumbs up. Check the teacher out, trying to
rein him in. Par for the course.
.
Ah, the token "silly face" picture.
.
.
.
We all had a ball!
No, really.
