Summer Activities -- Friday


Friday begins with a race against the clock.  We have breakfast at 7:00am and then school from 7:30am - 9:30am.  After school, we have a last minute bathroom break and then head to a gymnastics class that begins at 10:00am.  We missed the first gymnastics class due to Vacation Bible School.  They attended their first class last week, and the class received mixed reviews.  Lauren declared it was "too hard" and that she did not want to return.  Gracie loved it.  Lauren described all of the rotations and activities and said, "I couldn't do it!"  Gracie said, "I could do it allll!!!!" 




Nonetheless, we returned this week.  Lauren was less stunned by the newness of the sport and enjoyed herself, while Gracie appeared to be a natural. 

After 15 minutes of stretching, they were assigned to groups and began three rotations consisting of floor exercise; balance beam/beginning vault; and bars/rope/trampoline.




I think today's class was much more enjoyable.




After gymnastics, the girls spent the afternoon with Gran and Poppa.

This will essentially be our routine for the rest of summer, with only a brief interruption in mid-July when "baby brover" arrives.
